Update your HO tank car fleets with the WalthersProto 16,000-Gallon Funnel-Flow Tank Cars! In use since the 1960s and still going strong today, the prototypes carry corn syrup and other liquids while the v-shaped body speeds unloading using gravity. Perfect for serving producing and consuming industries, each railroad-ready model features:
Developed by the Union Tank Car Company during the 1960s, Funnel-Flow cars carry all kinds of liquids and slurries (mixtures of water and other materials) that can be unloaded by gravity. The car name says it all -- the entire tank is slightly lower in the middle, so the contents flow towards the lowest point, like a funnel, for faster, more complete unloading.
Funnel-Flow tank cars come in several lengths; dense, heavy liquids are shipped in shorter cars; lighter fluids move in the 54-footers. Many cars that haul thick liquids such as asphalt, molten sulfur and corn syrup, have with internal heating coils to reheat the contents for faster unloading.
These cars are favorites of the chemical and paper industries and a great way to expand traffic on your railroad. Used for food products, chemicals, slurries & more from the 1960's to present.
