ABOUT
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.

Ken Patterson Reviews Safe-Paks
Let customers speak for us
from 69 reviewsCar was pricy but very nice - wish I could several more of this same car in one of the other CGW paints.

The tank car is great! Clean paint with lots of detailed grating & tubing. I love it!
Two axles on one side were missing the rotating circular caps. I saw there was a bag of 4 extras & I learned how to install them.

Another great tank car from this company. Keep rolling these cars out.

I have over five hundred 2024 model Athearn Genesis, Scaletrains, Classonemodelworks and Walthers Proto cars and Bob Stears does it right! My Roka Auto Seaboard Systems auto rack is flawless. Everything about them, the paint is a cut above all of them, actual Kadee metal couplers (about time mfg’s) the car just oozes with quality from end to end. I have since purchased four more and preordered another four. I just wish he made more different types of cars. Even the packaging blows away any other mfg’s I have seen. If you want the best Roka is it!!!

Love my new CGW tank car, just like the one that lived outside the Larry Provo Training Center (Chicago & Northwestern RR) in West Chicago Illinois.
Fantastic details and lettering is perfectly legible, thank you

This car looks great!

This is a highly detailed and beautiful tank car. I couldn't resist having one on my layout.

Cars have great detail and are very accurate to the real model. Details are fragile so these are definitely for adults. CGW is hard to find and it was great to see ROKA pick this road for production.

Great tank cars, very detailed, recommend.

Beautiful addition to the car fleet. The detail is excellent and crisp.

ATSF ORANGE DOME STREAMLINER FUEL GATC TANK CAR 1949-1955

Way better than I expected. Detail is immaculate. Knocked it out of the park. Will be ordering from you again

Being a Chicago Great Western modeler and having grown up along the CGW's Chicago-Oelwein mainline, I am very pleased ROKA chose the uniquely painted CGW tank cars to offer in HO scale. These cars are magnificent. Paint is superb and the lettering is crisp, and the detail is spot-on. I highly recommend these cars to all CGW modelers (actually to ALL modelers).

I am very impressed with the detail that was put into this tank car. The free rolling wheels and end caps are amazing. You hit this model out of the ball park. Looking forward to purchasing other products from you.

Roma has recently issued models of modern Santa Fe company service tank cars. The detailing is exquisite with the smallest lettering readable. The free rolling wheel sets have blackened faces. The coupler height was perfect and the car is very packaged. These Santa Fe models definitely deserve a place on your layout.
