Various Tank Cars

Dow Chemical Tank Car


I've always liked this car. Years ago I got to work in a Dow plant near Baton Rouge, LA. This model has a brass roll cage (I guess that is its purpose). Rapido style couplers. In a box, but not the original.

Road Numbers:

CGTX 14003

GATX 100 Ton Tank Car


Rapido Style Couplers and in a generic box.

Road Numbers:

GATX 52610

GATX Tank Car

This is a nice looking tank car with nice details in a Model Power box and rapido couplers.

Road Numbers:

GATX 22691

Mobilgas Tank Car
An unboxed 3 compartment tankcar from an unknown manufacturer. The prototype is an old design with a build date of September, 1926

Road Number:

WSRX 238

TankTrain Tank Car
An unboxed 3 compartment tankcar from an unknown manufacturer. Very similar to the Mobilgas tankcar above, but this has no numbering or reporting marks.

Road Number:

None.

Baby Ruth 3 Compartment 70 Ton Tank Car 
Another in the series of similar tank cars. This one is also unboxed and has mixed trucks and rapido style couplers. Marked as a newer design with a 1983 testing mark on the right side.

Road Number:

GATX 701
