HO 30' NACC 8,000 Gallon Tank CarHere's a peek at an assembly sample of this great little tank car. As you can clearly see, it's all new tooling and not a re-do of the MDC tooling. Here's a request - if any of you readers have specific information on all of the fine print on the prototypes of these unique cars (the dimensional data, in particular) please contact us. Your input will be much appreciated.
