The ATLAS 20005479 is an amazing HO scale 11,000 - gallon tank car model representing FBCX Foley Butane #88, with part number 150 - 20005479. It's ready - to - run and perfect for model train lovers. Propane or LPG was first marketed in the 1940s as a cleaner and more efficient fuel. Special high - pressure tank cars were needed for transport. The 11,000 - gallon tank car was introduced in 1947 by ACF. This Atlas model comes in two versions: with or without platform rails. Cars with top platform rails are for areas without elevated loading/unloading facilities, while those without are for customers with such facilities. It features finely molded handrails, tank fittings, safety placards, 50 - ton friction - bearing trucks with AccuMate® couplers, accurate painting, and lettering, and a platform when appropriate.

Using this ATLAS HO scale tank car model is easy. Just place it on your model train track and it's ready to go. When handling, be gentle to avoid damaging the finely molded handrails and other small parts. Store it in a dry and cool place to prevent any damage from humidity or extreme temperatures. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the car. Avoid using any harsh chemicals as they may damage the paint and lettering. If you notice any loose parts, it's best to consult the manufacturer for repair instructions.
