Description
Railroad Short Name: NATX
NATX “Black Lease Repaint” 1990+ is our modern paint scheme offering on this model for our first release. This car SKU is a “black lease” scheme that was common from that era. These cars feature the 1990-era Roman-style stenciling in white, which certainly “pops” against the black-painted carbody. Like most non-billboard lessee stenciled tank cars, these cars state their lessee in a very small stencil on the car, including the words “Agrico Chemicals Lessee.” Reflecting the modernized paint applied to these cars, they are equipped with 3-panel COTS and modernized tank car data including DOT references. Check out the reporting mark and road numbers applied to the super-detailed underframe. These tank cars roll on Tangent 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with 36’ wheels, separate truck brake beams and rotating Timken roller bearing caps.
