By the end of World War I, U.S. production of oil and oil-related products was sharply increasing thanks to the combination of war-related demands as well as demands from home. In order to move oil and new consumer products, tank car producers introduced new car designs. In 1917, General American Tank Car introduced a new general service 8,000 gallon non-insulated tank car that became immensely popular with bulk liquids shippers.
Our RTR models include correct “true-to-life” colors and “hyper-accurate” lettering including exact fonts and lettering placement. Finally, our scale replicas operate as well as they look, equipped with free-rolling all-metal wheels and Kadee scale couplers, meaning our models are truly ready to run.
Features for these awesome replicas include:
DMSX “Dunbar Molasses New Orleans 1919+” is the first of two offerings for the early steam-era modelers out there. This model is offered in the attractive “Dunbar Molasses and Syrup Company” scheme with classy white stenciling on the side of the car. Also, NEW ORLEANS, LA. is proudly stenciled on the car. As always, this scheme comes directly off of a prototype car that matches our model. Molasses was a common 8000 gallon tank car commodity even if it “sounds” unusual! It was a core ingredient in foodstuffs, animal feed, vinegar, citric acid, etc. Our Dunbar Molasses 1919+ cars come with era-correct K-brakes and are available in two all-new road numbers for 2022.
