Caveats: NONE

Guys;

I am very excited that we are finally going to get an acid tank car.  I have been waiting it seems forever to get a car like this.  It is one of those cars you need even if you think you didn't; I have found literally dozens of users I didn't know about.

One of the widespread uses for these was shipping hydrochloric and sulfuric acids used in pickling or etching foundry and steel mill plants products, as well as things like sheet stock.  When semi-finished or finished steel was sent out of the plant, it generally went through an acid bath to make further treatment more effective, to give "teeth" to treatment products, or simply to give it more environmental resistance.

I shared a love of tank cars with Richard Hendrickson, and we swapped info and photos on a number of the less well-known classes, like these.  This is one we both wanted to see at some point, and now we got one; and it is a beauty.  I have been drooling over the various schemes being offered.

"An" acid tank car???? If you're merely excited about Tangent's neat post-1950 welded acid tank, you'll probably wet your pants at the thought of a bunch of pre-1950 riveted ones. Perhaps you missed Frank Hodina's pilot model of a 7000 gal.riveted acid tank at Lisle and in Dick Bale's New Products section of the September MODEL RAILROAD HOBBYIST. Resin kits, two tank sizes (7K and 8K), two frame lengths, three different dome styles.

These will be offered by Frank's new company, Resin Car Works. Disclosure - I'm doing the casting for these.
