Overview

Designed and constructed by the General American Transportation Corporation, more than 5000 examples entered service between 1963 and 1980. Today, these uniquely styled cars can still be found in service, with many experiencing a second life as mandated buffer cars between the locomotives and revenue cars on unit oil and ethanol trains, and at the end of the train. The Bachmann GATX 4180 arrives with precision details, blackened metal wheels, and E-Z MateĀ® magnetic knuckle couplers.

Features

  • New and existing tooling
  • Separately applied details
  • Magnetically operated E-Z MateĀ® Mark II couplers
  • Highly detailed painted bodies with precision graphics
  • Blackened machined metal wheels with RP25 contours
