Dennis, Helium tank cars are another example. They tip the scales at 100 tons, empty. Not only did the early cars have clasp brake rigging, they had two complete air brakes systems - one for each truc

100-ton Andrews trucks in HO
Dave and Richard, The familiar US Navy Helium tank cars rode on 100-ton trucks. The earliest versions were Andrews. There's a decent photo in the FSA/OWI collection at loc.gov. https://www.loc.gov/res
