Broadway Limited 6,000 Gallon Tank Cars/ Walthers newly-announced tank cars - same prototype?

Steven D Johnson #198076 Saw this from Walthers today: https://trains.walthers.com/hubfs/Videos/New%20Product%20Express/JANUARY%202023%20Walthers%20New%20Product%20Announcement.pdf Isn’t the Walthers car representing the same prototype as the Broadway Limited car?

There are some new schemes and some reruns. This time they are selling them as 2-packs, often with two different schemes on the two cars. To see both schemes in a 2-pack, you have to click on the artwork, then go through the 4 images in the pop-up window. Question: Will any dealers be willing to split up 2-packs to sell as individual cars? If so, please contact me off list. I am interested in the VSX car from 7661 and the TELX car from 7665. I would also be willing to match-up with someone who wants the other cars in these two sets (Pittsburgh Plate Glass and Solvay Process). Thank you, Andy L. Madison, WI

Mike Clements #198079 What did Walthers do, create a pressure, insulated tank for the Proto 2000 8000 gallon ACF underframe? -- Mike Clements Wakefield, MA nyc65.wordpress.com

Brian Carlson #198086 It’s hard to tell. There is no gallonage info in the Walthers ad. Could be similar. However, I’ve learned to never trust Walthers ad copy. Case in point. The B&M 40’ modified AAR boxcar on the next page. B&M had none. The car in question was a typical 10’ car. 73000-73199. Brian J.

Tim O'Connor #198099 The illustrations do not show an ACF underframe. It looks like Walthers applied a new tank body to their truly ancient el cheapo 8k tank car (ex Varney?) . That frame has no prototype as far as I know and the one shown in their illustration looks rather odd too. The EBAX car from Walthers is the correct size and lettering for those cars, but the frame? Urf. The Broadway cars also appear to have a fantasy frame. :-( Oh well. Speaking of tank cars, I recently lined up several (well, 8) TANGENT tank cars and examined them. The DETAILS differ from car to car, even of the same general design. The domes are different, the walkways are different, the outlets are different. TANGENT really goes the extra distance!! It makes other plastic tank car models look ridiculous.

Tim O'Connor #198100 LOL -- The B&M, CofG and P&LE cars are ALL 10-0 inside height 1937 AAR box cars! Those D&RGW cars did have 4/5 ends but they were 10-4 inside height. They also had 12 panel sides. I think Yarmouth made kits. The junk model vendors continue to pursue dreams of mediocrity. :-D On 1/10/2023 7:12 PM, Brian Carlson via groups.io wrote: toggle quoted message Show quoted text It’s hard to tell.
