Garrett and I have been doing some talking. I went back and did a little research. There are some tanks we could do by kit-bashing. I doubt anyone is going to do the details for us, so we may have to do them ourselves. But, you are right, we need some of these parts badly. Here is what I see as us needing in the HO scale arena: General service ICC103 GATC tank car or just frame; 8k size, maybe? Complete insulated car would be great because we could swap/bash tanks; separate dome so we could kitbash maybe some other tanks? Various domes and dome details; fat insulated dome, 1% dome (103A/A-W and B/B-W); A-N/A-N-W dome; A-AL/A-AL-W dome; C/C-W dome; stuffing box and dual housing castings; Riveted dome collars for 1% and 2% domes (various diameter ID/ODs to fit 8k and 10k tanks) Etched platforms/handrail stanchions/supports Or, insulated tank car ends in a variety of diameters (or just one big one that you could cut down). We'd need the one that has the riveted seam down the middle, and one other. What do you think? Elden Gatwood

Especially needed are the large-diameter domes as used on asphalt and chemical tank cars. Richard has hinted that such a car is in the works, but I'd still like to see a large diameter dome as a separate detail part in H.O. scale. Shawn Beckert
