Also note that Procor, UTC’s Canadian affiliate, built some cars identical to these designs. The early phase has a four-section tank body, and was built from mid-1979 to late-1988. The later phase has a three-section tank body, and was built from early-1988 to late-1999. Athearn’s state-of-the-art model will offer different top platform and brake configurations to match the prototypes, along with many separately applied details to add to their incredible realism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOperationally, these cars offer many opportunities for contemporary (late 1970s to present) modelers. Sulfuric acid tank cars can be seen in great numbers all over North America, often moving in groups of multiple cars in a train. Sulfuric acid is a common commodity, consumed and produced by many different industries: oil refining, metal processing, ore refining, fertilizer manufacturing, waste water processing, and chemical synthesis, among others. Even if your layout does not have these industries represented, these cars can still be of use, since they often traveled as bridge traffic on many roads, to be interchanged to and from other railroads as part of their journey across the country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eKey Features\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFully assembled and ready for your layout\u003cbr\u003ePhoto-etched metal walkways\u003cbr\u003eFactory installed wire grab irons\u003cbr\u003eDifferent end sills as appropriate\u003cbr\u003eWeighted for optimal performance\u003cbr\u003eMachined RP25 profile metal wheels\u003cbr\u003eEquipped with McHenry AAR upper\/lower shelf couplers per prototype practice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item has been graded per TCA standards C-8: Like New based on visual appearance.
