SCALETRAINS SXT80190 Operator Ho Scale Trinity 31k Tank Car Owner’s Manual
Operator™ trains are built for modelers who enjoy running high-quality, realistic trains at an affordable price. Designed from builder’s drawings and photographs, Operator models have fewer factory-applied parts and simplified printing. For added versatility, super-detail parts are available separately. Since 2012, TrinityRail® has built thousands of 31K Gallon Tank Cars with head shields to meet the growing demands of the oil industry. This tank car is easily recognized by its unique trapezoid-shaped end shields. Mile-long unit trains with 100+ cars crisscross the United States and Canada daily to deliver crude from the oil fields of North Dakota, Wyoming and Montana to refineries on the East, Gulf and West Coasts. As demand for shipping crude oil by rail has declined, these cars are now carrying ethanol, gasoline, petroleum distillates, and other commodities. In addition, these cars can often be found in mixed freight trains.
