well, I've got a question regarding tank cars. A friend of mine used to work at a farm supply-type place, unloading rail cars (liquid and solid fertilizer, etc) and that's where I first met him, before we found out his fiancee and my wife work at the same place. I drove truck for a company that had several tankers that hauled 28% and 32% liquid fertilizer out of this place. The local CN crew would drop off a couple tank cars, and him and another guy would shunt the rail cars down with a loader when one was emptied. Anyway, he quit that place about 5 months ago, and since I'm planning a layout, I joking told him I was going to model where he worked as a joke since he didn't like working there very much. I was browsing around, and I found a 3 lift axle tanker like I used to pull from Herpa through Walthers:
I also found, through Herpa, a daycab CH mack like the one I drove: (undecorated, so I can paint it black like mine was)
one of the final touches, was, again, through herpa, I found a 379 Peterbilt like my friends boss owned that was always parked on the property:
I'm pretty sure I can find a storage tank fairly close to the one they had, plus I'm pretty sure I can kitbash the small building. My main question is, where would I be able to find a rail tank close to the type that would haul liquid fertilizer? some that looks close to this:
