N Scale Greenbrier Tank Car 8 Car Set

New From Kato: We’d like to introduce you to our brand-new Greenbrier Tank Car in N-Scale. This tank car has been nicknamed “the tank car of the future” and is designed to comply with DOT117 standards. Approximately ⅓ of tank cars in North America transport flammables such as crude oil and ethanol, and for the longest time DOT111 was the standard regulation for such tank cars. Unfortunately, these older cars had minimal protection for fittings and valves, this resulted in a higher failure rate during accidents. As a result, the DOT117 was introduced and came with an increased steel frame, thermal protection, and additional safety adjustments.

KATO USA will be replicating this model in N-Scale based on the Greenbrier paint scheme. The model features brand new tooling and a robust construction that features all the essential details and piping throughout. The model is lightly weighted so you can easily create a long freight train without any worries of derailment or jumping the track.

These models will be sold in 8 packs. This is a quick and easier way to build up your rolling stock collection instead of buying individual pieces.

Expect these cars to be released later this year.
