Description
The 54' 23,000-gallon funnel-flow tank car is one of the most recognizable general-service tank cars of the modern era. Built to Union Tank Car Company's funnel-flow design, the tank slopes from both ends toward a centre bottom outlet so the lading drains completely — a feature that made these cars favourites with petroleum and chemical shippers across North America from the 1960s right through to today.
Walthers Proto captures Dow Chemical's white DOWX tank car #40096 with yellow conspicuity markings in HO scale to Proto-series standards: separately applied body and underbody details, free-rolling metal wheelsets and the new Proto MAX double-shelf couplers make it ready to drop straight into your modern-era freight consists.
