Doesn't Eastern Car Works make a depressed center flat? IIRC, it is good for the PRR. I think there was an article in MR a while back. I can't seem to find their web site to see the details, but

Folks; I think Charlie et al. are correct, both were military prototypes, as I recall from when I was doing more research on flat cars and modeling. I believe the HD flat they made was a Magor-built

very few tankcars larger than 12,000 gallons were built . . . before 1963, 6,500g, 8,000g, 10,000g, and 11,500g tanks were the most common sizes, but the more important factor is the type of tankcar,

I don't have the two cars to compare, but I suspect the Bachmann car is a copy of the earlier Roco / AHM car (which was later run by E-R Models). The Roco car was one of two heavy duty flats released

If there is no air on the train line, the brakes are set. To drag away with several cars with their brakes set takes a lot of "stupid" up front. Not saying it doesn't happen, but if an engine pulled
