Garth, you saw an assembled ACF type 27 tankcar. Utterly inaccurate

At least they would have gotten the gallonage correct....

Ooops. Typo. I meant O-50-14.

Oops, you may have meant Model Railroader. Mailline Modeler has an O
scale in their New Products section but the MSRP is $32.95. That listing
you saw for $26 may be a HO scale RTR car which are a few buck more than the
kits.

I believe that's a O scale car which accounts for the price difference
between it and HO scale cars.

Friends,

While scanning MODEL RAILROADING at the hobby store last weekend (didn't
buy, seldom useful except as t.p.), I noticed that in the new products
section was mention of an SP tank car (O-13, IIRC) from Intermountain.
The price was something like $26, which smells like a premium kit kit
similar to their retooled PFE reefer. Comments anyone?

Kind regards,
