I definitely put that about the tank car into the "hobby legend" category. I mean, the work that might have gone into the 120 ton Brownhoist could have been incredible -- And CAD tools and machine tools were nowhere near as good as they are now! If the sales were disappointing it may be because he just didn't charge enough for it! I mean, if any kit in 1990 was worth $69, it was that one! And I would have paid it, because yes, I only bought one. I mean, how many Brownhoist cranes can you use? :-\ Fully assembled, I don't doubt they could get $199 for them RTR. Dunno why Intermountain/Tichy doesn't do it. :-) Know what's kept me from building mine? Lack of a color image of the machinery! I saw one kit built once and the entire interior was properly painted -- gears, machinery, structure, etc. What a difference! But that was before cell phone photos.
