Bring classic tank car variety to your layout with our line of affordably priced, highly detailed N scale resin tank car bodies. Designed for kitbashers, scratchbuilders, and modelers who enjoy customizing their freight car fleet, these models offer accurate profiles based on historic UTLX and multi-dome prototypes common across North American railroads from the early 1900s through the mid-20th century.

By focusing on the core body shell, we keep costs down and give modelers full freedom to finish each car to their own standards.
