YS&T tank cars


SUVCWORR@...
 

First, I want to apologize for stirring the pot to such an extent. That was
never my intention.

I did remove the photos when an objection was raised. If there is ever a
resolution which allows posting of these photos I will be glad to do so.

In the meantime, could someone knowledgeable about tank cars tell me the
type of car and any starting point for modeling GATX 18046 and GATX 18407?

The third car is PTX 1741. The first letter of the reporting mark may be
missing. This is a 5 section (4 bands of double rows of rivets evenly spaced
to form the tank) 8,256 gallon tank car. This is the car which is painted
silver.

Rich,

From my memory of those shots, these were both General American built tank cars. At the moment, other then the RC brass model, we have no good models of these cars in HO. I keep hearing hints that this may change, so keep your fingers crossed.
