RMT 96899-157 O "Gas & Oil Legends" Bardahl Oil Tank Car
We're starting off strong with the Bardahl Oil Tank Car, painted for the Bardahl Oil Company. This Seattle-based, family-owned oil company was founded in 1929 by Ole Bardahl and is known for its rapidly growing business, selling a wide range of automotive chemicals. Famous for its "Polar Attraction Formula," which reduces friction in automotives, Bardahl became a widely known name in the oil industry. With all products proudly made in the USA, Bardahl Oil Company has built a wide international network while remaining family-owned and sells many products in other countries.
The paint scheme on this tank car features a clean black paint job with white lettering, making it understated while advertising the company's name and branding. If you model the North Western area of the United States, this tanker will fit in perfectly. With metal trucks, metal detail pieces, and metal wheels, this tanker will withstand the test of time and become part of the family on your layout.
RMT 96899-37 O "Gas & Oil Legends" Champlin Oil Tank Car
Next in line is an RMT Oil Tank Car featuring the Champlin Refining Company paint scheme. In 1916, Herbert Hiram Chaplin acquired a refiner and began building pipelines after striking oil near Enid, Oklahoma. With extensive refining and service station networks across the Midwest, this company became one of the largest independent oil companies in the United States. After being acquired by the Celanese Corporation and sold to Union Pacific Resources in 1970, the brand quickly faded as its operations were absorbed into larger companies.
The body of the tank car incorporates the Champlin logo along with bright pops of red throughout. Simple, bold print of the brand name is enough to grab your attention without overwhelming you. With metal and plastic construction, this tank car is sturdy and able to contend with other cars on your layout.
RMT 96899-159 O "Gas & Oil Legends" Mid-Continent Oil Tank Car
Mid-Continent Petroleum Corporation, a major player in the oil industry, known for its large-scale operations, is represented in this RMT tank car sold at Trainz. After merging with Sunray in 1955, this corporation continued to evolve into today's oil and gas business. The name now refers to other suppliers that provide equipment and services in the Mid-Continent region of the United States.
They sold gasoline, kerosene, and motor oil under the "Diamond Products" name until rebranding post WWII. This tank car features a clean design with half featuring the Diamond Products logo and half featuring the original mid-Continent Petroleum Corporation name. Like the others in this collection, this tank features plastic construction, with metal trim pieces, trucks, and wheels, ensuring stability when running behind a locomotive.
