Description
This Bachmann HO Scale Silver Series Track-Cleaning Tank Car is based on freight cars designed to haul a wide variety of liquid loads. Tank cars have remained a crucial element of freight railroading since the pioneer era, hauling water, oil, and other commodities that were invaluable for shaping the nation. This tank car model represents some of the last single-dome examples built with a riveted tank design, which were delivered between the late 1920s and early 1940s and operated into the 1980s. Found across North America, our model represents cars in their heyday, when they served a wide selection of private owners with eclectic names and colorful paint schemes. The Bachmann Single-Dome Tank Car features a prototypical, detailed body, separately applied ladders, and metal wrap-around grab irons. Other features include blackened metal wheels with RP25 contours for operation on Code 70 and larger rail, and body-mounted E-Z Mate(R) Mark II couplers. The Track-Cleaning Tank Car features a dry cleaning system with a reusable track cleaning pad. (Track Cleaning Replacement Pads, Item #160-16949, are available separately.) The Track Cleaning Tank Car is part of the extensive line of Bachmann HO Scale freight cars.
