Athearn Genesis 13K Acid Tank Cars Arrive
['Justin Franz']
Railroad Model Craftsman
Now in stores is Athearn’s first Genesis-level freight car for N scale – a 13,000 gallon capacity acid tank car.
Athearn • 2904 Research Road • Champaign, Illinois 61822 • www.athearn.comThis all-white car represents a 13,855-gallon tank car built by Procor in June 1999 and assigned to sulfuric acid service.
Unlike the other cars in this release, this Procor car features a bespoke three-section tank car jacket with a horizontal reinforcement bar spanning the center section underneath the vertical ladder.
Particularly impressive features include the nearly microscopic reporting marks printed on each truck sideframe per its prototype.
Unique features on the UTLX car include end sills with narrow end walkways, narrow upper walkways with tall railings, and a three-section tank car jacket.
