Liquids on the Rails? - Unboxing and Product Review of Rapido's HO Scale Procor Alberta Tank Car!
This unboxing and product review takes a look at a Canadian prototype HO scale tank car from Rapido Trains!
This Procor tank car was designed in the 1960s. It was designated GP20, for general purpose, 20000 gallon capacity. It should not be confused with EMD’s GP20 locomotive, which is something entirely different.
The car was designed for light density liquids that would not freeze in extreme cold, such as certain oils and fuels. Some of the cars were equipped with interior heater coils.
Nearly 1000 examples of this design were produced between 1969 and 1984. These cars were used throughout North America. Some were owned by leasing companies such as Procor or Union Tank Car. Canadian Pacific and British Columbia Railway also had some of these cars.
As usual, Dan evaluates the model's packaging, prototype accuracy, paint & detail, and how well it operates and conforms to applicable standards. A RIP Track segment is included to show how to fix any minor issues.
