Tank cars becomes the most appealing cars for me right now, I model the 30’s and going through the (Canadian) private own cars pictures available on-line of this era, I start to realise how much differences there could be between each cars, even between the same type and series, It is almost like steam locomotives. I’m not as much knowledgeable as some on this list but it looks like there might be a possibility to start from a standard 3 courses tank (a DPH or a Drake, regardless of the capacity) and make up for many variation using rivets strip decals from Archer is possible.

Also two-rung corner steps, to match the very common GATX design. I'll be happy to add to the deluge of mail requesting the Type 21 in S.

I will send an email... Have fun! Bill Winans ---------------------------------------- .... On to my next Lionel thought. Over on the P48 yahoo list, some images of a new Lionel O scale ACF Type 21 8000 gallon tank car have just been shared. My first thought was, hey, if we sent in a huge amount of mail, S scale could have that car this year! What a great addition to available offerings! Care to join on encouraging such a product?
