All,
I'm interested in the new tank cars from American Limited Models for one of the "other" railroads that ordered welded 16K cars from GATC in 1949.
The SP&S 38600-38619 cars were 95" diameter, 44' 7 3/8" long over tank ends, 47' 11 3/4" long over buffers, and had 68 3/8" diameter dome.
Not having the ATSF research materials in hand, can anyone tell me if the TK-N and TK-O cars match these same dimensions?
Are the ALM cars the correct size, and if not, what are their dimensions?
Thank you for any assistance.
