CHICAGO GREAT WESTERN BLACK GATC TANK CAR 1955-1970
An excellent model, it looks great and I can't wait to get a different version, keep up the great work!
Roka Models has certainly come up with a fantastic model! The model was easy to order, arrived in less than a week after ordering, and was extremely well packaged. The level of detail along with the quality and accuracy of the paint job was "top shelf". I am sure that any person that models the era that this car represents would want one for their model railroad!!!
Great product. A bit pricey though
Keep coming up with new train cars. It is variety to the layout
Oh well done
I love this car! The detailing and workmanship are amazing.

CGW/C&NW BLACK GATC TANK CAR 1968-1995
Got a clamshell and atsf fire car as a trial. Exquisite models and very unique. The detail is tremendous, cars track well and they’re not something you see elsewhere
Worth the cost, imo, for what you get
Liked so much, pre-ordered a couple spiral tank cars too
A terrific car with exceptional details!

PRODUCT HISTORY
Safe-Pak History
In 1973 the first fully enclosed autorack railroad cars were designed by competing manufacturers to address the problem of increasing vandalism to new automobiles in transit.
The first production fully enclosed autorack railroad cars were delivered in late 1974 and early 1975.
The Whitehead & Kales company design, named Safe-Pak, were delivered to the ATSF, SBD, CSXT Patch, UP/WP, UP, WP, NW, SCL, FEC, and CPAA.
The Safe-Pak autorack cars were in service on US and Canadian railroads until the late 1990s.
