The O Scale Brass Tangent Scale Models GATC 6,000 Gallon 3-Compartment tank car is a visually distinctive model that includes intricate underframe details such as full brake piping, outlet caps and chains, truck brake beams, and different brake wheel hardware for each paint scheme. Also note the “true-to-life” colors and “hyper-accurate” lettering including exact fonts and lettering placement. Finally, the scale replicas operate as well as they look, equipped with free-rolling all-metal wheels (with hidden ball-bearings) inside the new Brass Tangent 50-Ton “spring-plank” truck, plus genuine Kadee #740 O Scale Type E couplers. The models are truly ready to run – no paint or decals required! The O scale products are ready to operate (and weather if you are so inclined).

PDAX “Protex Industries” 1969+ is a great example of a late billboard paint scheme applied to a pre-World War II tank car.
