N Cryogenic Tank Car CDN Liquid Air (BLI8153)

An N-scale CDN Liquid Air Cryogenic Tank Car brings authentic cold-liquid freight to a layout, replicating a high-capacity tanker designed for transporting cryogenic liquids such as liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, and liquid argon. These cars are built to keep contents at ultralow temperatures—about -297°F for LOX, -320°F for LN2, and -302°F for argon—and can carry more than 15,000 gallons of liquid oxygen, highlighting substantial industrial capacity on a model railroad.

Meticulously detailed for operation, the model features scale-accurate proportions, authentic paint and lettering, and fine printing that reproduces builders’ data. It offers two roof walkway options and two truck configurations—friction-bearing or roller-bearing—plus a host of separately applied details such as hand rails, grab irons, ladders, brake housing, and brake wheel. Metal wheelsets with prototypical wheel faces, MicroTrains-compatible operating knuckle couplers, and compatibility with Code 55, 70, and 80 rail ensure smooth performance on a wide range of layouts. Offered as a two-car set with two uniquely numbered cars, it carries a minimum operating radius of 9.75 inches for reliable handling on curves.
