Dear HO Scale Customers;

 

Athearn has announced the RTR 16,000 Gallon Clay Slurry Tank Cars

 

 

While our prototype for this car is most often used to carry slurry, in real life similar cars also carry phosphoric acid.

 

 

We decided to offer these sharp-looking schemes due to requent requests - but use extra care when handling these cars in a train!

 

 

Building on a rich tradition started in 1946, the Athearn brand is home to the hobby’s best-loved models. Athearn has brought the joy of model railroading to you for 75 years, starting from our classic ‘Blue-Box” kits to our most recent Genesis 2.0 line. With accurate detailing and painting, Athearn is the brand that any hobbyist is proud to own and operate. No matter your era or favorite railroad, Athearn truly is “Trains in Miniature.”
