There's a few questions you need to answer before get too carried away w/ your Gulf tank cars.
Just because both your models & prototype pix say Gulf are they the same car i.e. is the Walthers car a duplicate of the prototype car? What are the built/new dates of the model & prototype (cars from '20s-'30s didn't last into the '60s-'70)s. Do the capacities of the model & prototype match? Were 8052 gal. tank cars used that much in the '60s- '70s?
