Manufacturer Information:

  • Relatively uncommon until the 1870s, when the petroleum industry ordered large quantities of metal tanks carried on wooden car bodies.
  • Standard design evolved by the early 1900s: an 8,000-11,000 gallon metal tank on a metal flatcar-like underframe.
  • Transition from riveted to welded construction began in the late 1930s.
  • Introduced X-ray inspection of welds for safety and used giant annealing ovens to relieve joint stress.
  • Welded tanks are stronger, less susceptible to rust and corrosion, and less likely to rupture in wrecks.
  • New design in mid-1950s: tank became the structural backbone, eliminating the need for a full-length underframe.
  • Todays large-capacity tank cars carry a variety of liquids from oil to chemicals to foodstuffs.
  • Tanks may be lined with glass or other materials for corrosive liquids and may have heating or cooling apparatus.
  • MTH Premier O Scale freight cars complement any manufacturers scale proportioned O Gauge locomotives.
  • Available in two car numbers for easier combination into multi-car consists.
  • Can operate on tight O Gauge curves for added versatility.
