Tangent Scale Models HO 31221-02 NACC 1979+ Jacketed 33,000G Dual Diameter Insulated LPG Tank Car "CITX Black Restencil 1987+" CITX #32031
– CITX “Black Restencil” 1987+ gives modelers an example of a very popular 1980s+ paint scheme car. These “orange band” cars were painted this way to identify railcars that carry hazardous commodities under pressure, notably Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) and anhydrous ammonia. This orange band was a temporary rule instituted in Canada, but when the United States Department of Transportation did not agree to institute the same rule in the United States, the orange band rule was dropped. This scheme represents these cars in the 1987 and later era, when the cars were under PLM Railcar Management Services ownership. The car stenciling represents a former North American Car Corporation lease car in the simple black scheme. The stenciling also includes a yellow box designating a phone number to call in case of a “chemical emergency.” Among many other smaller stencils, the words “Liquified Petroleum Gas Only” are stenciled on the right side, denoting the service for these cars. These tank cars roll on Tangent 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with 36’ wheels, separate truck brake beams and rotating “Benco 6” roller bearing caps. These cars are stunners.

Era: 1987-2000
• Industry-leading “Hyper-Accurate” lettering including exact fonts and lettering placement
• Multiple road numbers for each scheme
• Beautiful weld lines across the many insulated courses on the tank body
• “See through” rooftop walkways and end platforms
• “Lacey” handrails and ladders
• Dimensionally-correct hazardous placards with accurate hole detail
• Accurate bolster “boxes”
• “See-through” bolster detail just like the prototype
• Detailed brake system including a combination of plastic and wire parts to maximize realism
• Separate flexible durable rubber air hoses
• “Near-scale” draft gear box with beautifully-rendered side “key” detail
• Genuine Kadee scale shelf couplers – prototypically accurate per the prototypes
• Our precision Tangent Scale Models 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with prototype-specific rotating bearing caps (four possible options!) and separate brake beam part
• CNC-machined 36” wheels with accurate front and back detail
• Replacement semi-scale wheels available separately from Tangent
• Weighted to NMRA specifications
• Recommended age 14 years and older
Prototype History:
North American Car Corporation (NACC) originally produced this 33,000 Gallon “Dual Diameter” tank car design between 1963-1965, designed for Propane and Anhydrous Ammonia. After a series of tank car safety incidents, U.S. DOT mandated that all of the cars must receive either head shields or an external insulated jacket – to be installed between 1979–1980.
In the case of these DOT-112-J-340-W cars, an external insulated jacket was added to the tanks, hence the “J” in the DOT class designation. North American made many modifications to these cars during the rebuild process; notably, these “pressure tank cars” were modified with the jacketed insulation, which made the cars visually larger in both tank diameters. Additionally, large metal boxes were fabricated around the bolster area. The tanks maintained the large “Manway Nozzle” at the top of the car for gas loading/unloading, and the safety valve. These cars are notable because of the handrails that extend across the top of the entire tank from the ends. The addition of jacketing boosted the car’s spec to Plate C. Finally, these cars were equipped with shelf couplers per USDOT rules instituted at the same time as the rule mandating tank protection: head shields (our May release for cars without insulation) or insulation (this month’s release).
