Prototype History:
GATX introduced the Funnel-Flow series in the 1960s. The Funnel-Flow® tank design slopes to the center of the car to assure quick, complete unloading. As result, they have a distinctive "dip" in the center of the car. These cars were developed by the Union Tank Car Company (now UTLX Manufacturing Inc.) in the 1960s. Designed for liquids that can be unloaded by gravity (as opposed to pressurized unloading), the car is lower in the middle so the tank acts like a funnel to facilitate unloading.
Road Name History:
REG got its start in biomass-based diesel two decades ago while operating under the umbrella of West Central Cooperative in Ralston, Iowa, USA. REG has since grown into a leading advanced biofuels producer and renewable chemicals company, selling products through ​an international distribution and logistics system. We will continue to broaden our footprint through a global focus, continuous innovation and an expanding product portfolio.

In 1998, West Central began to market SoyPOWER brand premium biodiesel fuel. In August of 2006, Renewable Energy Group, Inc. was formed as an independent corporation.
Brand/Importer Information:
Con-Cor has been in business since 1962. Many things have changed over time as originally they were a complete manufacturing operation in the USA and at one time had upwards of 45 employees. They not only designed the models,but they also built their own molds, did injection molding, painting, printing and packaging on their models.

Currently, most of their manufacturing has been moved overseas and now they import 90% of their products as totally finished goods, or in finished components. They only do some incidental manufacturing today within the USA.

Important Note: The Con-Cor product numbering can be very confusing. Please see here in the article how to properly enter Con-Cor stock numbers in the TroveStar database.
