HO scale (1:87) Ready-to-Run super detailed model of ARI manufactured SHQX (American Car and Foundry/American Railcar Industries) 33,700 gallon spiral tank models dedicated for Anhydrous Ammonia pressurized transport service.
As opposed to conventual tank car construction techniques where multiple steel cylinders are butt weld together to form a tank car jacket, these spiral tank car jackets were manufactured by hot rolling a single strip of red hot steel into a cylinder with overlapping and welded (lap-welded) internal and external seems. This spiral jacket manufacturing technique accounts for the various proprietary styles of overlapping "lap welded" tank jacket seams. While somewhat jarring on first observation, this new spiral tank jacket manufacturing technique is a common site for LPG and dangerous chemical product transportation since 2009.Anhydrous Ammonia is a pressured liquid commonly used in agricultural applications, large scale refrigerator systems, water treatment and the manufacturing of plastics, dyes, textiles and pesticides.
