Sometime ago I measured three UTLX tankcars built prior to WWII. One was a 100,000lb (10,036 gal) capacity insulated car built 8-14-1920. The second insulated car was 10,032 gal and built 6-23.The uninsulated one was a 80,000lb capacity built 10-37. All three had different end walks. Will someone pick and manufacture the most comman centerframe, say the X-3 6,000 gal car, the 8,000 gal car or the 10000 gal car? Or is there a chance the centerframe will be similar to the Tichy tankcar frame and allow for some modification? Has Tichy or Grandt Line or Detail West shown any interest in creating such a centerframe? I'd be interested in buy a coulpe dozen. I'd be just as interested in buying a couple dozen of the 5 vertical band tank cars. Just thoughts, any comments? Larry Sexton
