Scratchbuilt six axle Phosphorus whalebelly tank car!

I tried to post this car a few months back, but no photos showed up! This car hauled 23,000+ gals in a water slurry! Phosphorus ignites when exposed to air!

Very fine modeling! Well done, indeed!
Is there a specific reason for the whale belly configuration of the tank?

Reminds me of a Japanese whale belly tank car I collected up a number of years ago. Have yet to build them all

Engineer's decided it was a great idea! It fell by the wayside latter on! Thank you for your kind words!
