Prototype Information:

The "Funnel Flow" tank car, first introduced in 1967 by Union Tank Car Company, revolutionized the transport of thick liquids. Its sloped design ensures that contents like corn syrup, chemicals, and other viscous materials flow out more completely and quickly than from a standard flat-bottomed tank car. The "Hubinger" livery represents a classic era of industrial rail transport, making this car a historically significant and visually interesting addition to your layout.
