UPDATE: 9-26-2022 NEW RMT TANK CAR PHOTOS

Lookin' great Walter!

Glad to see new product arriving shortly. Quality that we can depend on at very affordable prices. What other road names can we expect?

It's a great looking tank car. The $29.95 price is a fantastic. I love a train with a long string of tank cars. I know a lot of you prefer a string of black tank cars. I prefer a string of tank cars made up of many colors. Walter, does your tank car have a die cast frame?

Bill ... have you seen the listing on their website?  ...  RMT TANK CARS

I have two pre-ordered ... eager to actually see them, their quality. I'm new to RMT. Quality/price seems almost too good to be true. lol

Are these from the UMD IDM Industrial rail molds that Atlas Bought?

Somehow, I don't think that RMT has access to something that Atlas bought, but I'm sure Walter knows for sure.

They bear a close resemblance to the K-Line cars, although the frame has molded-in placards rather than the separate ones K-Line packaged in the box for the user to install, and the frame appears to sit lower on the trucks (on the K-Line version the bottom of the stirrups were completely above the journal boxes). This leads me to believe these could well be a clone of the K-Line tooling (if it was already scale, there'd be no reason to deviate noticeably from it), but with some modifications to the frame, which would legitimize the claim of the tooling being new/exclusive to RMT.

After a year I'm looking forward to actually getting  my tank car. I ordered it when my son enlisted in the Navy.

harleyhouse...No

CNJbill...there will be 19 different roadname tank cars including special custom runs.

Walter/RMT

They look fantastic!

Walter; I’m curious. Apropos of the Lehigh Valley agent’s name stenciled on the side of the UTLX car; was Artie Jones a real person and a friend of yours?

Curt

juniata guy...Yes Artie Jones was a best friend who passed about 5 years ago. He really loved the Lehigh Valley RR, but had both a CNJ #774 camelback in live steam and a Fairmont MT-14 motor car painted in LV Cornel Red with black stripes. We (with my family) took alot of motor car trips in the mid-1980's. In Bayonne, NJ where I grew up (Artie in nearby Elizabeth, NJ) the Union Tank Car Company had a repair facility for the many tank cars that were used at the Bayonne Esso and Tidewater Oil refineries.

I have always tried to add something special but realistic to any freight cars that I designed artwork for both currently at RMT and previously as Product Manager at Aristo-Craft Trains (G-gauge)...makes this hobby a bit more fun I think!

As a former bayonne resident this car brings back memories.   Looking fwd to buying a half dozen of these.

necrails...Prospect Avenue and then Lexington Avenue and finally Boulevard by County Park. BHS Class of 1966

You will also need to get the Tidewater Oil and Texaco cars as they both reference Bayonne, NJ. Check RMT website for photos.

Those are the tankers I preordered. I grew up in Linden ... so, maybe do ESSO Bayway Linden refinery in the next run of tank cars?

Boy, we used to have lots of refineries here in NJ. lol

East 16 street, BHS 72.  Could hear them switching the yard at all hours.  Will certainly mix up the purchases.  Should be a nice unit train.

Walter, do you have a tank car with some color you could post? Like the Hooker tank car. Orange is my favorite color.

jim sutter...as you requested...here goes...Waddell Oil co. and Hooker cars.

Regards.

Walter/RMT

Thanks Walter. I like them both, especially the Hooker tank car. It reminds me of the American Flyer tank car I had a long time ago.
