I have one of these. I believe the sides are card-stock. The wheels in the RB trucks are 28".

Two Compartment HO Scale Tank Cars: Who Made Them?
Interesting enough is Red Ball (type material, lead) seems to have lasted 70 years and is still going :-D!

Digital Caliper Recommendation
The only PFM one I have seen (not saying there were not others) was not a dial caliper, was metal, and is going for in excess of $100. Low cost metal dial (or digital) calipers can be had at Harbor Fr

Interesting tank holding design/s. Ends look similar but no two seem alike.

Flat Black
And there's a place on eBay that sells Tamiya's lacquer (flat black among others). Appears to be real lacquer as I have added from my gallon of lacquer thinner and it didn't gel, just thins down. Neve

Brass freight car noise
Tough one. If any are boxcars with doors that open you might try stuffing them with memory foam (removable if doesn't work) or similar. Other types of cars, I'm at a loss!

Brass tank car
I started this as all my CBC's are at the other house. I'm SIP 220 miles away. I think one of the CBC's (1930?) had a picture but wanted to get decals (mail order) if they are available. Would give me

The Tangent tank is a 6K car. The Ajin is an 8K and maybe the size of a 9K as Bruce Smith said. The size difference is very obvious.

I have a nice looking brass tank car. It's 2 dome and etched on the bottom of the frame is AJIN, 10-1988. It is painted gloss black and that's the way I bought it. It has trucks with .066 (+/-) wheel

Meat reefer roofs
I has a freezer fail once when I wasn't at this house. It was a total health hazard and was scrapped. I can guess the same with all those reefers, I don't think they could be cleaned!

I got some Tichy #3080 roller bearings. I use a plastic holder for wheelsets and tried these on the axle ends. They work perfectly to keep paint off the axle ends. Just a thought for those who might w

Broadway Limited 6.000 gallon tank cars
Notice they are now in 2 packs down from initial release of 4 packs. Way back I thought the Hooker should be black but lots of emails, the orange is correct.

Interesting that the fellow on the far right has a pistol in his belt. I'm wondering what this picture is really showing?
