That looks like the Athearn car which I used to build my CGTX car, posted earlier.

I remember this one.

I wonder if the graffiti writer knew this from experience.

Here's a Proto tanker that I didn't bother re-lettering - replaced most of the plastic grab irons, though.

A Red Caboose kit - I replaced the plastic grabs, plus the flimsy plastic ladders and handrail. Lettering is from Champ.

Wayne,
Enjoyed your model pics, tried taking some of my own but didn't like the way they turned out, so I'll stick with the prototype. March 1990

Bruce

Bruce, your proto pictures look really good, so I'm surprised that those of your models don't look the way that you want them to.
That last car which you posted seems quite unusual: in addition to having two domes, (and off-set, too), this what-appears-to-be a modern car also looks like it has a separate frame. On most modern tank cars, the tank itself serves as the frame.

One more contribution to global warming.
