Has anyone on Big Blue run twelve or more on their layout? Any issues running them? Re: New Athearn announcements - Green_Elite_Cab - 12-26-2014 I haven't finished building all of them but I have almost 12 of the MDC Quakerstate Tank-Train cars. The Athearn models may be derived from these old MDC kits. I have about 4 running, and I haven't experience any problems. The hoses were flexible enough to not create trouble. Other than that they run like any other HO tank car.
