...any tips on what model tank cars would be appropriate for vegetable oil for a layout set in the last 20 years?

The Atlas Trinity 25,500 gal tanks are perfect for vegetable oil. May not be currently available but here is a link to the model on the Atlas web page: http://www.atlasrr.com/HOFreight/ho25500tankcar1.htm. You may be able to find them on some of the Internet hobby shop web sites.

Suitable road names would be the ADM, Cargill, GATX, IPBX, and PLMX. If you can locate them, I'd go with any models that carry only reporting marks as they could serve multiple uses.

I managed to get about 7 of these for vegetable oil shipments to my food processing facility. They are beautiful models, but you'll want to replace those terrible Accumate couplers.
