Bachmann 40' Single-Dome Tank Car Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Popcorn HO Scale

Product Overview

Designed to haul a wide variety of liquid loads, tank cars have been an important part of freight railroading since the pioneer era, transporting water, oil, and other essential commodities. These single-dome cars represent some of the final tank cars built using riveted construction, with prototypes delivered from the late 1920s through the early 1940s before welded construction became more common. Cars of this general design could be found across North America throughout much of the 20th century, first serving private owners and later finding new roles in maintenance-of-way service. Bachmann gives the classic tank car an especially fun treatment with this Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey™ Popcorn release.

Why We Love This Car

Circus equipment brings a completely different personality to a model railroad, and the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey™ Popcorn scheme makes this tank car especially fun. Beyond the colorful graphics, Bachmann has equipped the model with practical operating features including metal wheels, added weight, magnetic knuckle couplers, and separately applied details. It's a great choice for building a circus-themed consist or simply adding something distinctive to your rolling stock collection.
