Re: OMI 1930-built GATC 10,000 Gal double dome tank car
Bruce and Fred Since Tom Marsh lived in Indiana, he may have been out one day and saw NIPX 8 a tank car owned by the Indiana Public Service utility and decided to measure it. I suspect it had an earlier life (1930's) and the Overland brass image represents it late in life. I agree with Bruce it's an extremely rare type of car, and the model may even represent a unique prototype. I've attached another much more modern insulated 2-dome photo to show there was more than one of the type :-)
