Unfortunately none of the information you've so kindly listed is of any use on 
the Des Plaines site, or are you saying that all the tank cars listed in SSA 
are of this type?

Ho Ed;

The Des Plaines\SSA cars are the type you are looking for; in this case a GATX 
built ICC 103 (or AAR Type III) tank car. Lehigh Valley Models also have a wood 
and card kit, and the old AF tank also matches your description. If you are 
looking for a bit of a challenge, the PBL "Gramps" tank prototype was a 
standard gauge car modified slightly for narrow gauge use and can be 
re-converted to run on S scale layouts. Steam era tank cars is among the areas 
where S is limited in variety.

The AM tank cars are more modern designs, as were most of Rusty Downs'.

Is there a source for old style tank cars with the large dome (diesel fuel, 
gasoline, etc.)? I see Regal used to make kits, but I can't find anything more 
recent.

I don't have the knowledge to understand what Des Plaines offers by description 
alone without pictures. Everyone else seems to only carry chemical tanks, and I 
don't know what years they represent. In situations like this, I really miss 
being able to go somewhere and see what I'm buying.
