http://home.comcast.net/~sseders/tankcar.htmlAnother guess based upon the shape of the emblem would be the Diamond Tim, that is a good guess, but the Diamond Alkali emblem was multicolor and had writing through it that extended beyond the edges of the diamond. I have a 1956 photo of a Diamond Alkali 103W with a large dome, with reporting marks GATX 32991. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's the only car I've ever seen that matches the Overland brass model #3229. Unfortunately I don't know of any decals for it. I would very much like to see a better photo of that 10k Dow tank car. Dow leased cars so not all of them had DOWX reporting marks -- I have photos of GATX Dow Chemical tank cars, for example. Dow was a big outfit based in Michigan, not Texas, but they had chemical plants in several states. From Tim O'ConnorResponse from Richard H. HendricksonLooks like a Dow Chemical tank car. The Ohio, Kanahwa andResponse from Tim Gilbert Tim is correct that this is a Dow Chemical Co. tank car, in this case a 10K
