The prototype photo on our website shows this car in service in 1968 on the east coast. This scheme wears the red and white Allied Chemical logo that is nicely applied to the rounded contours of the tank. The car stenciling includes separate stencil instances for ‘Chemicals’ and ‘Plastics Division.’ As always, this scheme comes directly from a prototype car photo that matches our model. Our Allied Chemical 1964+ cars come with era-correct AB-brakes and are available in two road numbers.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrototype Information: \u003c\/strong\u003eBy the end of World War I, U.S. production of oil and oil-related products was sharply increasing thanks to the combination of war-related demands as well as demands from home. To move oil and new consumer products, tank car producers introduced new car designs. In 1917 General American Tank Car introduced a new general service 8,000-gallon non-insulated tank car. Built in East Chicago, IN, these cars were easily identifiable by their circumferential rivets that surrounded the tank body, with notably different heights between the courses. These radial course tank cars utilized steel bolster plates that rise up vertically to hold the tank in place, complete with a web section behind to minimize steel consumption at a time when steel was a scarce commodity. The Tangent Scale Models GATC 1917-Design 8,000 Gallon General Service Tank Car is a highly-detailed tank car model that includes details accurate for each paint scheme, including KC- or AB-brake variations, different dome heights, with or without Cardwell draft sill springs, and different hand brakes. The GATC 1917-design prototypes were the most prolific tank cars built during this period and were found everywhere from 1917 to roughly 1970.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct: GATC 1917-design 10000 Gallon Tank Car\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale: HO Scale 1:87.1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTruck: Tangent 50-Ton Cast Steel Spring Plank Truck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWheels: CNC-Machined 33 inch Flat Back Wheels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures for these replicas include:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eCircumferential riveted tank body and riveted underframe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eRadial course tank body – note the ‘stairstep’ appearance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eAll-new underframe for the GATC 1917-design\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e‘See-through’ cast knee above the bolsters\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eAccurate dome appliances\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eDimensionally-correct hazardous placards with accurate hole detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eSeparately applied tank handrail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eSeparately applied tank strap detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eKC- or AB- brake variations depending on the prototype car\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eInclusion of Cardwell draft sill springs depending on the prototype car, otherwise ‘oval’ frame openings where the springs were removed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eDifferent hand brake appliance options depending on the prototype car\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eHighly correct ‘true to life’ colors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e‘Hyper-Accurate’ lettering including exact fonts and lettering placement, including lettering applied to the underframe and air reservoir\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eDurable wire grab irons and coupler lift bars\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eSeparate air hoses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eNear-scale’ draft gear box with side detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eKadee ‘scale-head’ couplers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eCNC-machined 33 inch wheels in high-quality Tangent Scale Models ASF cast steel truck with spring plank and with separate brake beams\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tangent HO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48319643254937,"sku":"TSM1906301","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8847\/0425\/files\/acdx.3.4.1200logo__05094.1600887033.1280.1280.jpg?v=1784143487","url":"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/products\/tangent-scale-models-ho-19063-01-general-american-1917-design-10-000-gallon-insulated-tank-car-allied-chemical-1947-acdx-84800","provider":"Lombard Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
