Hi Mark --
I would look for Grandt line On3 plastic kits (or assembled used) of the Van
Dyke narrow gauge cars. They are a lot less expensive than the brass, and
easier to mess with... I don't know if Grandt Line is still producing the
kit. If you are considering converting these to S standard gauge, they
probably represent a much larger tank, close to 10,000 gallons, I think.
If you want a SMALL tank, the PBL kits in Sn3 will work (and I have a few
kits if you want them). They would be about 6000 gallon cars, I think.
Obviously, this would be a relatively simple conversion - new trucks,
couplers and possibly moving some ladders.
Have fun!

An HO friend suggested converting the Pre Scale On3 Van Dorn tank cars to S
for 6,000 gallon cars. Are any of you familiar with this car, or have done a
similar conversion?
