Looking for some of the GATX tank cars that are very long Does MTH make any of these? What's the going price if they do make these. Thanks

google is your frend.
No.
MTH is definitely behind Lionel and Atlas, in terms of your typical long, modern tank cars. Even the Weaver 50ft tank cars are a better bet than anything MTH makes.

Agree with Marty.

I agree on the atlas I have the 33,000 gl tank cars and they are great only thing thou be careful they will not handle smaller curves and I'm thinking it needs to be O-54 for some reason they might do O-42 but I'm thinking O-54 as that's the smallest curves I have now and remember I went to that for some reason.
note: just went to Atlas O website and the largest tank car they have now is 25,500 GL tank car requires O-54
I could of sworn I saw some MTH premier line tank cars like lionels , just not as detailed
here is one found on the bay by mth http://www.ebay.com/itm/MTH-Pr...;hash=item4191fd452e
only thing is they want top dollar for them plus shipping of the ones I saw.
you did see some, the were in a catalog 2 or 3 years ago. look at your mth catalogs,-jim
Those are nothing like the Lionel GATX tank cars the OP referenced. Those are very old prototypes.
The Lionel ethanol cars and the Atlas 25,500 new tank cars are newer ones that are currently common on the rails today.

Yes that's like what I saw just a diffrent road name. Are these hard to find and worth picking up at a reasonable price?
