UOCX “Union Oil of California” 1937+ represents a model from one of the more prolific buyers of GATC-built tank cars, Union Oil of California.  They had a large fleet of tank cars, many of which were adorned with large “Union Oil Company” and “Los Angeles” stenciling.  These specific prototype models show a build date of 1920 and paint dates of 1937.  The underframe has lots of stenciling as well, including “Built 10-20 by General American Tank Car Corporation Warren Ohio Shops.”  Cool stuff!  Also, these cars were roamers!  Several Union Oil of California tank car photos have been taken in Alaska on the Alaska Railroad!  Our UOCX ” Union Oil of California” replicas come assembled with era-correct K-brakes
