If you are looking for 50's tank cars, the Des Plaines model is good.

"Not a bad representation of a pre-war General American car, except 
that it needs some modification to the body bolsters.  Look at a 1937 
CBC for reference.  It would not be hard to modify the car to make it a 
post-war GA car.  The manway hatch also needs some correction, which 
would not be too difficult."  Comments by Richard Hendrickson,
