I had gotten this photo, actually part of a slide show, a couple years ago. Had saved it for the loads. Who makes Tank Loads? Sunshine Models? Has anybody ever seen tank loads modeled?
Yes actually. A "tank" train, even won this years Chisholm Trail Model Train show "best of show" award.

Happy SWSAT everyone enjoy your weekend.
