HO 30,000-Gallon Ethanol Tank CHSX #3 (ATH29931)
HO Scale 30,000-Gallon Ethanol Tank Car, CHSX No. 3, is a detailed HO-model of a modern ethanol transport car built for realistic freight trains on model layouts. The prototype carries about 30,000 gallons of ethanol, and this model captures that look with a separately applied walkway platform, manway, outlet, ladders, brake rigging detail, safety rail supports, tank saddles, and printed placards, plus photo-etched walkways and end platforms for added realism.
The car rides on 100-ton roller bearing trucks and 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and is weighted for steady performance on HO layouts. Body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers enable smooth, close-coupled operation, while the injection-molded body is painted and printed to mirror real-world equipment. A minimum curve radius of 18 inches keeps this model compatible with standard HO track, and the detailing continues with wire safety rails and end handrails.
