Scratched 6 axle whalebelly Phosphorus tanker

My latest project is the smallest of the rail whales. At 22,500 gals it was a heavy car due to the weight of it's load. I used a Atlas LPG
Tank, an Atlas Kaolin tank, and a plug from Athearn 62' tank to attain the proper length. It's not finished yet, but close.

Thanks Gary. I've been working on the UP engine for a while. I took some outside practice photos today, and will do the real thing soon.

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumors
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find Him laughing...

That is a cool looking car but I am even more interested in the cyro car. Any more progress on it?

Sorry for the late reply, but I lost the group. Thanks, I'm glad you like the car. The cryo car is done! I'm waiting for good weather so I can photograph it out doors. Coming soon!
