Kato 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.
We will be selling these models in 8 packs for a MSRP of $160 dollars. 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.
