These tank cars represent the narrow frame and frameless UTLX cars that traversed the Denver and Rio Grande Western and Rio Grande Southern Railroad’s track throughout Colorado from the 1920s and into the 1960s.

The narrow frame UTLX cars were built in the 1920s by using old standard gauge tank cars and mounting the tanks on steel channel framework. These cars were equipped with 4’ 8” archbar style trucks.
The UTLX frameless tank cars are well known as the “GRAMPS” cars. Originally built from former standard gauge cars in the early 1930s, many of this class had the prominent silver letters emblazoned across the sides of the tank cars around 1939 while transporting oil from Farmington and Chama to the Alamosa refinery.

Both cars will be offered in weathered and non-weathered versions. Both cars will also have a painted, unlettered, non-weathered version. Expected delivery similiar to the double deck stock cars listed below.
