For Sale: All Nation “The Can Tank Car KIT, 2 Rail O Scale On The Cheap” PN#15K<\/span><\/p>\n

In keeping with our efforts to entice newcomers to try 2 Rail O Scale, we release another one in our series of model kits titled, “The Recycle Tin Can Tank Car, 2 Rail O Scale On The Cheap”. Anyone wanting to test the O Scale waters, whether coming from a smaller scale or a newcomer deciding on a scale, you cannot go wrong giving this a try. As a very basic kit using steel cans from the recycle bin, the can 17.6 Fl. Oz. drink can is the right starting size and super strong for a modern freight car. All Nation supplies the basic parts, 3D Printed ends, tank skins and platforms leaving the decision to the modeler for detailing. The kit does not dictate what type or size of tank car to build. Rather, given 2 tin cans, the modeler can innovate deciding the length or type of commodity to transport in a model. The modeler could even go the Bulktainer route for a unique finished model on a flat or spine car. The model conforms very closely to the max Plate C dimension of 10′ 8″, perfect for those ethanol cars you have been wanting. A couple of these sitting in your transload facility will turn viewer heads for sure.<\/span><\/p>\n
