Largest production tank car! At 48,000+ gals it went into production!

and we were supposed to know that?
I didn't see any comments that should have been taken as derogatory of your work.

I suppose you're correct, but we're all different! I was more interested in proving I wasn't a liar than anything else! The person that made one of the posts knew I had been a member for a few years. I was disappointed
he kept quiet! OK, I'll be more careful next time, thanks!

Speaking of the LARGEST tank cars ever built,...I think it may have been these 60,000 gal whalebellies I have 2 kits of.

As I have mentioned before I have 2 of the big whale belly car kits,..
1) This Quality Craft GATX one , https://www.scribd.com/doc/52205654/Quality-Craft-GATX-96-60000-Galon-Tank-Car

Mine came as a wooden body kit


This kit came with instructions as described in that link,...and this photo,..


This one appears to be a little different than this one that supposely was on display in Texas,...
Whale Belly

There's one on display in Galveston, TX. It was the largest ever put into production.

I was listed as Bobby Pitts the first time I was on the forum, please check under that name and you'll see I've been a member several years. Just to let you know I'm not a liar! I lost my password, so I used my other name!

I remember you Bobby Pitts (now deceased). You were my hero with your wonderful modeling of the cryogenic cars before Broadway came out with theirs,.....one of my favorite tank car models.
