HO UTC 33K LPG Tank Car Late TEIX #33661/33689/33697 (ATHG-1510)
HO UTC 33K LPG Tank Car, Late TEIX Nos. 33661, 33689 and 33697, is an HO-scale model recreating a 33,000-gallon LPG tanker used in late-era service. With authentic proportions and prototypical paint, this detailed car fits naturally into an HO layout, whether pulling a busy freight through a yard or forming part of a long freight consist.
It features multiple road numbers for variation, along with separately applied walkways, manways, outlets, ladders, brake rigging and safety rail supports. The underframe offers full detail with either body-mounted or truck-mounted brakes, while 100-ton trucks with rotating bearing caps add to the realism. Additional details include photo-etched walkways and end platforms, wire safety rails, printed placards, body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and a highly detailed injection-molded body weighted for smooth operation on minimum 18-inch HO curves. Three body phases—early, flat panel and late—provide authentic variation, and the Primed for Grime version duplicates the look of in-service equipment with faded base colors, making it an ideal starting point for weathering grime and rust.
