Tangent Scale Models HO 11522-02 General American 1928-Design 6000 Gallon 3-Compartment Tank Car 'Mid-Continent D-X Tulsa 1939+' COSX #932

Our April 2024 introductory production of our General American 1928-Design 6000 Gallon 3-Compartment Tank Car includes a large grouping of paint schemes.  Our models are truly ready to run.

'Mid-Continent D-X Tulsa 1939+' duplicates a repainted Cosden car with the large 'D-X' lettering that was common for these cars during their 1930s/40s repaints.  This black car has other white stenciling including Mid-Continent Petroleum Corp Tulsa OKLA.  These cars had a somewhat unusual arrangement where the gallonage for each of the three compartments was stenciled on the 'end' of each of the three domes.  Neat feature!

Modeling Dates: 1939-1959

Prototype Information:

General American produced the 6000 Gallon 3-Compartment tank car on the 'Type 30' riveted underframe from 1928 to 1942 at General American’s Sharon PA factory. While General American constructed many different tank designs, this 6,000 Gallon, 3-Compartment car was a memorable design that was leased by multiple shippers. The 3-Compartment design allowed consignees to receive up to three different grades of products, such as oils or chemicals. This was important in manufacturing facilities for example, where multiple lubricating oil types could be received in smaller quantities, but within one car. Chemical shippers also gravitated to these cars to ship different products to a common receiver. Additionally, some shippers utilized 'split waybills' so that 1-2 compartments of the car could be unloaded at one customer, and the balance 1-2 compartments could be unloaded at a second customer located at a different location, usually in a different city or town.
