All, I actually assembled a plastic KIT on Sunday! Egads! I really don't remember the last time I assembled a plastic kit. It truly could be 10 years+.
I bought a RTR HiRail Des Plaines tank car at the convention for a bargain price. There was 2 and I should have bought that one too, but did not. I scrounged some wheels and body mounted the couplers easy & DONE. I went to put it on my shelf when I found a DHP tank car KIT. YIKES! I don't remember when and where, but it was probably an eBay win in the past year or so. I know I am late to the party here but just discovered there are detail differences between the Hi rail and Scale versions, at least for the Scale kit version. I don't have a scale RTR - yet. The scale car has more parts included. There was some issue with the fit if the preformed handrails that seemed to be resolved on the RTR car. Other then that is is a great easy to assemble tank car for the transition era. Both are now done and residing with the brass tank car string on my layout. Finally, the RTR car was missing a stirrup step. There are no extras in the kit, but if by some strange chance you have an extra one I could use it.
