The Bachmann HO 40' 3-Dome Tank Car - Carbide And Carbon Chemicals is a detailed HO scale model designed to replicate the classic three-dome tank cars used for transporting chemicals. Here are some key features:
- Detailed, painted bodies with precision graphics
- Three-dome design for carrying different chemicals
- Open underframe
- Added weight for optimum tracking
- Separately applied ladders, brake wheel, and metal handrails
- Magnetically operated E-Z Mate® Mark II couplers
