Re: Capacity of UTL 13182

First, many thanks for the help. I have
downloaded the USRA Circular 6-0 and the Tank Car Handout (as
upgraded). And the reference to
http://modelingthesp.blogspot.com/2012/10/naperville-tank-car-handout-part-2.html is quite helpful. And I, too, had calculated the gal capacity; initially based on 6'10 OD and 26.38' length. Then I noticed it should have been 6.1' (oops). And then I wrote the letter with "almost 7'" - more oops. John mentioned that I did say "almost" - well, with a 14% error that hardly is "almost" - unless I was playing horseshoes or grenades. This turned out to be a far greater learning experience for me than I anticipated - many thanks, all. I shall use 6,457gal. (or about 6,500gal.) for the capacity. Be well. Dave A. |
