Looking at AC&F tank car drawings in the 1947 CBC, insulation is called out as being 4" thick. That adds 8" to the diameter. The steel jacket over the insulation is called out at 1/8" adding a

Re: [EXT] [RealSTMFC] Red Caboose GATX "Flying A" Tank Car
With all due respect, I wasn't only asking if the paint scheme was correct for the Red Caboose car, but whether it was accurate for a different tank car. I am well aware of the group search function

2. The Red Caboose tank car is only accurate for some DODX AC&F-built welded tanks. GATX had its own welded tank car designs; several of them are accurately represented by the Tangent tanks.
