HO 33,900-Gallon LPG Tank Model (ATHG25594)
This HO-scale model recreates a 33,900-gallon LPG tank car for realistic operation on HO layouts. It offers multiple road numbers and three body phases—early, flat panel, and late—to reflect real-world variations. The detailing is extensive, including separately applied walkway platforms, a manway, outlets, ladders, brake rigging, safety rail supports, and tank saddles, with photo-etched walkways and end platforms. Wire safety rails and end handrails enhance the exterior, while a fully detailed underframe mirrors prototype brake arrangements. Printed placards and body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers contribute to an authentic presentation.
On the rails, this model rides on 100-ton trucks with animated rotating bearing caps and features machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and accurately printed road numbers for prototypical realism. The injection-molded body provides a highly detailed exterior, and the kit includes coupler lift bars, trainline hoses, brake hoses, and hardware. It is weighted for smooth, dependable operation on layouts, with a minimum usable radius of 18 inches and a recommended radius of 22 inches for best performance on curves.
