Description
Larger calcium carbide containers were used starting around 1963. These were also used for dry chemical transport. DuPont Chemical had 20 special cars built to carry these larger containers, and AHM made the early version of these cars (AHM 5393) (DUPX50000-50003). Although AHM labeled the cars as several roads and companies, only DuPont had these cars. The AHM car isn’t 100% correct, but it’s close. Later, bulkhead flats were used to carry these, with special crossbars and turnbuckle type tie downs.
Sold in a set of 14 containers to fit the AHM car. HO only. Kit includes decals for Dupont Early Car. Specify road number.
Use Tru-Color Dark Blue, or ATSF Dark Blue.
*Modeler to provide car. CAR NOT INCLUDED.
