8000 Gallon Tank Car

Pipeline On Wheels
For safe and efficient transport of fictitious petroleum and industrial solvents, I have acquired a 1930's era, HO scale, Type 21, 8000 gallon riveted tank car. This utilitarian beast of burden will shuttle between industries delivering fuel and other chemicals to manufacturing facilities, refineries, and warehouses. In real life, many of these units continued to serve railroads well into the 1960's. My obsessive thirst for utilitarian aesthetics has been quenched!
