– NATX “White Lease Delivery 1963” introduces our NATX “plain white lease” paint scheme as applied to the tank car when built in 1963. While we call it a lease scheme, it is actually a “two tone” – white on top and black on the bottom of the tank body and on the end frames. These cars feature the Roman-style stenciling in white, which certainly “pops” against the white-painted carbody. Prominently displayed on this car: the classy “North American” parallelogram logo. Among many small stencils, the words “Liquified Petroleum Gas Only” is stenciled on the right side, confirming its service use, as well as a myriad of other accurate stenciling. And like most non-billboard lessee stenciled tank cars, these cars state their lessee in a very small stencil on the car, including the words “Leased to Shell Oil Co.” These tank cars roll on Tangent 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with 36’ wheels, separate truck brake beams and rotating Timken roller bearing caps. These cars are perfect for filling out your era-specific trains.
