Athearn HO acid tank cars
I DO NOT CARE TO PAY EXTRA FOR THE FANTASTIC DETAIL OF THE MODEL. KEEP THE GOOD WORK
Bought one recently. Very impressive. Underbody piping and detail is fantastic. This is the typical new standard for mid to high end manufacturers. One feature I like is the actual painted DOT / DOD Hazard Class Signs. Many other high-end models by other manufacturers miss this minor detail and leave the diamond-shaped signs unpainted.
I just hope that Athearn decides to do this model in N-scale. Their products just seem to get better with each new release.
