In the meantime, could someone knowledgeable about tank cars tell me the
type of car and any starting point for modeling GATX 18046 and GATX 18407?

From my memory of those shots, these were both General American built tank cars. At the moment, other then the RC brass model, we have no good models of these cars in HO. I keep hearing hints that this may change, so keep your fingers crossed.
