Tank car era question

[nachoman]

Nice find, Ralph. They look great on your layout. I can't comment on whether your tank cars are appropriate, but I can say they look appropriate.

BTW, I've made this comment before, but I find your layout very inspiring. It has a great overall feel without too much "rivet counting", and seeing how you have incorporated everyday items into convincing scenes helps motivate me to get away from meticulous research and just build something that looks convincing.
