Re: IOX 2144 & MDC 6k gallon OT tank car
I have a few shots of IOX cars, but they are the narrow gauge versions in Newfoundland, Canada. One is a single dome, two shots of double dome cars.

URTX reefers (was: reefer pix)

There is one photo at the link below which shows a prototype which is
very similar to the Walthers horizontal belt steel reefers.

Since my last e-mail on this subject, I've noticed (again) a very good shot of a similar three tank car, UTLX 13504 in Edward Kaminski's Tank Cars: American Car & Foundry Co. 1865 to 1955, p.150.
