<br />This is a MTH 20-96734 O Alaska Premier 8000 Gallon Tank Car. For most of the steam and early diesel eras, tank cars followed a standard design: an 8,000-11,000 gallon tank perched on a flatcar-like underframe. Beginning in the mid-1950s, however, a new design took hold: the tank itself became the structural backbone of the car, eliminating the need for a full-length underframe and making bigger tank diameters possible. It features Intricately Detailed, Durable ABS Body, Metal Wheels and Axles, Die-Cast 4-Wheel Trucks, Fast-Angle Wheel Sets, Needle-Point Axles, (2) Operating Die-Cast Metal Couplers, O Scale Kadee-Compatible Coupler Mounting Pads, Detailed Brake Wheel, Separate Metal Handrails, 1:48 Scale Dimensions, Unit Measures: 9 1/16 x 2 3/4 x 3 7/8, Operates On O-27 Curves. <br /> <br /> Manufacturer: MTH <br /> Model Number: 20-96734 <br /> Road Name: Alaska <br /> <br /> Scale/Era: O Modern <br /> Model Type: Freight Cars <br /> <br /> <br />
