Absolutely not. The end reporting marks are clearly "SAL", and the car has Pullman ends vice the flat ends of the B&O

Re: Multiple dome Tank cars
I would say with the intercommerce of commodities between companies its plausible you could see any tank car just about anywhere. You could also pretend a car is being leased out.

Re: Tank car with the logo on top of the tank?
Yup. That’s the one I saw. Someday, I might actually finish the model I started from an IMRC tank and at SC&F underframe

Re: Tank car with the logo on top of the tank?
This is a UTLX car. There is a nice photo of one like it in one of Kalmbach’s Freight Car books. There were a bunch of them numbered between 950 and 1027. They were Class Z cars (not UTLX

Re: Central of Georgia door and a half boxcars?
They are 10' Youngstown doors for the 40' and 50' cars other than 25 40' cars that got Superior doors. The Red Caboose 37' AAR 40' car has the correct 6' door in the kit. They also had a piece of 10"

Re: Central of Georgia door and a half boxcars?
Is the 6 foot door available anywhere? The 4 foot doors could be made from it relatively easily.

Re: Union Pacific Company Service Boxcar
Larry,
My guess is an AF-XX SAL boxcar, as they had round roofs and different ends, as in the photo.
People with more knowledge and resources will probably correct or amplify my guess.

Great to see the Tydol / Veedol tank car from the Jim Gerstly collection.
Here is another one taken as a screen grab from the film " Freight Train (1954) on

Multiple dome Tank cars
Maybe a better candidate would be a single dome GATC tank car and adding a copy of the small dome from a Tangent 3 dome car. Isn't this what RTV and polyurethane were invented for? This way the domes
