First of all, Garth, welcome back. I don’t have an example of that Walthers tank car in front of me, but my recollection (reinforced by the illustrations in the Walthers on-line catalog) is that the underframes are severely clunky and don’t even remotely resemble any prototype underframe. And reworking that underframe into anything even vaguely prototypical would, in my opinion, require a lot more effort than would be warranted by the results. YMMV, but if it were my model, I’d replace it with a prototypically accurate model of a Sinclair car (e.g., Proto 2000 10K AC&F Type 21). Richard Hendrickson
