cars and mounting the tanks on steel channel framework. These cars were equipped
with 4' 8" arch bar style trucks. Three models come weathered or non-weathered. As well there is
a painted, unlettered model. Full details on our Blackstone Models Page Narrow Frame Tank Car

from former standard gauge cars in the early 1930s, many of this class had the
prominent silver letters emblazoned across the sides of the tank cars around 1939 while
transporting oil from Farmington and Chama to the Alamosa refinery. Two models come
weathered or non-weathered. As well there is a painted, unlettered model. Blackstone Models Page Frameless Tank Car
