Too bad - any thing like it, if set in the steam era, would be a huge resource.....

I wonder how many of the drawings are suitable to STMFC's era - i.e. when were these
built?
None, unfortunately - at least, not directly. The dimensions and
general construction of the 8K and 10K gal. ICC-103Ws were similar to
those of the welded cars built by GATC in the late 1940s and early
1950s, but there were many detail differences, tank car building
practice having evolved quite a lot in the intervening decade.
