Overland Gatx on eBay right now, Re: Need Help with GATX Tank Cars from the 1950s
Ned Carey <nedspam@...>
Athearn "chemical tank" with a Precision hood andperhaps a Sunshine frame to make the ICC 105 car. There is an Overland Insulated GATX car on E-bay right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120563949018&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123 I would bid myself but I am not sure asphalt would travel across the country.

I think you will find that "asphalt" as applied to a road is locally manufactured and shipped by truck. Liquid asphalt is the petroleum based binder that is mixed with aggregate to make the paving material Liqid asphalt likely is shipped from the refinery and could travel longer distances. CJ Riley
