Description
Our third Premium Instructions, the American Car & Foundry Type 27 Tank Car!
The Type 27 tank car was built by the American Car & Foundry Co. from 1927 into the late 1940’s. The Type 27 was available in capacities from 4,000 gallons up to 12,000 gallons, and could be ordered with multiple compartments (each with its own dome) for hauling separate liquids in the same car. Our instructions can model 6 different versions. The two most popular tank sizes, 8,000 gallon and 10,000 gallon, each with one, two, or three domes.
Our Premium Instructions Kit contains the following:
1 professionally printed instruction book with full color instructions, part list, prototype information and building tips.
1 Brickarms U-Clip and 2 Mono Pods used in the underside brake details.
4 assembled wheel sets with ball bearing. Enough to build one car. These wheel sets come fully assembled, with ball bearings preinstalled in new LEGO® Technic bricks, custom sized axles to fit the bearings, washers to prevent wheels from rubbing the bricks and causing excess friction, and new LEGO train wheels.
Why use bearings? Because ball bearings provide excellent free rolling operation. Better than stock LEGO wheel sets. Less resistance means the rail car is easier to pull. And the easier a car is to pull the less strain on locomotives, and the more cars you can pull.
All you need to provide is the LEGO bricks from your own collection. Build the car in the color of your choice, or you can purchase decals to build the car in one of the following authentic railroad paint schemes bellow.
