ATLAS 20005478 11000 Gallon Tank Car - FBCX - Foley Butane #77 (SCALE=HO) Part # 150-20005478

The ATLAS 150 - 20005478 is an HO scale 11,000 - gallon tank car model representing FBCX - Foley Butane #77. It's a ready - to - run model perfect for model railroading. Propane or LPG, a clean and efficient fuel, emerged in the 1940s, and special high - pressure tank cars like this 11,000 - gallon one introduced in 1947 were crucial for its transport. This Atlas model comes in two versions: with and without platform rails. Cars with platform rails were for places without elevated loading facilities, while those without were 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 appropriate platforms.

Using this ATLAS tank car model is easy. Just place it on your HO scale model railroad track, and it's ready to roll. When handling the model, be gentle to avoid damaging the finely molded handrails and other small parts. For storage, keep it in a dry and dust - free place. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it clean. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they might damage the paint and details. Check the couplers regularly to ensure they're working properly for smooth connections with other cars on the track.
