Re: Phillips Petroleum LNG and PPG gas tank cars.
Philgas and Skelgas were widely seen in the midwest. Several years ago I sent photos of these cars to Atlas. I received no reply. Champ decals brought out Philgas HT-66 and I think Skelgas. In stead

Phillips 66 had several refineries in Oklahoma, with the big one being in Bartlesville. Other big ones that still exist are Borger, Texas (Panhandle) and Sweeny, Texas (Gulf Coast). LPG could also

Re: Phillips Petroleum LNG and PPG gas tank cars.
Unfortunately correct decals for tank cars often don't exist. Champ HT-66 Philgas is for a GATC tank car.
And of course the lettering is far from correct even for that prototype. :-(

Re: Phillips Petroleum LNG and PPG gas tank cars.
All: I managed the PPCo tank car fleet after the end of this group, but do know some of the history. The first refinery was at Borger, TX the same you Phillips started selling gasoline at retail

Re: Phillips Petroleum LNG and PPG gas tank cars.
According to GATC: A History of the General American Transportation Corporation, GATC purchased 2046 tank cars from Phillips Petroleum in 1945. I would guess this was a lease-back arrangement.

These were the oldest cars in the fleet, and I believe that many riveted shell cars were not leaded back but Ihave been u able to verify completely.

Re: Phillips Petroleum LNG and PPG gas tank cars.
Thank you once again Doug. What is shown in your 4th and 7th photos is exactly what I'm looking for. Tim seems to have most of it from his Champ decal set but I'd like to have the Phillips reporting

Re: Phillips Petroleum LNG and PPG gas tank cars.
Perhaps the tangent insulated tank car could be a starting point for a LNG car as in this article featured years ago on the Resin Car Works blog.

Re: Manufacturers Railway Mather box
Acc to Sunshine's info they had both the 10'3" and 7'8" ones. Best I can tell the P2K is a 8'5" car numbered for the 7'8" ones and in white lettering.. Martin said that series had yellow lettering.

Using contact cement
People ask me about Barge cement. I recently used it to attach a couple of boxcar roofs so it's the latest post on my DesignBuildOp

Re: Manufacturers Railway Mather box
I found a Mather stock car that I'd done when the kits were new, and it has wire grab irons, plus uncoupling levers, that I must have applied. Then I looked at a couple kits that I bought on eBay
