myminifactory

This model represents a post-war European freight car, specifically a 1/32 scale replica of an American-made (USA-TC) tank car adapted for use on European railways. Fitted with buffers and hook couplers, it was designed to transport fuel after the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Following the war, many of these tank cars remained in Europe, primarily utilized by petroleum companies in France and neighboring countries. Some meticulously restored examples are now displayed at the Technik Museum Speyer in Germany, showcasing their original condition. Measuring approximately 35 cm in length, the tank car itself is a significant model, while the accompanying wagon with buffers extends to about 40 cm.
