HO 30' NACC 8,000-Gallon Tank Car NADX Penguin Grainger Ale (ATH97176)
HO scale 30-foot NACC 8,000-gallon tank car in the NADX Penguin Grainger Ale scheme. This faithful model recreates the North American Car Corporation’s compact “Beer Can†tank car, designed for transporting smaller liquid shipments and a familiar sight on many railroads from the 1970s through the 1990s. The car is richly detailed with a separate manway and vent, photo-etched platforms, wireform end and platform railings, separately applied ladders with bracing, a full underside with the outlet, and accurate painting and printing. It’s a compelling addition for small HO layouts seeking era-appropriate realism.
On the rails, it rolls with authentic detail: an injection-molded body, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers for reliable handling. It’s weighted for smooth operation and fits a minimum 18-inch radius, making it well-suited to compact layouts. Depending on the version, authentic 100-ton roller bearing or Bettendorf trucks mirror the prototype, delivering a ready-to-run model that enhances any freight roster with a touch of beer-can era charm.
