Hey Jeff:

They look great to me.

Jeff,


Great changeup from the usual structure posts.  That tank car is very definitely not a shake the box kit, rather a testament to how far plastic rolling stock has come in both the complexity of construction and fidelity to the prototype.  I'm looking forward to seeing how you weather this beauty.

Thanks, guys.  Jerry, it won't be weathered for a long while.  I have  too many other projects to complete.  I've never weathered a tank car, I'll start with some of my older Athearn ones before doing the better detailed Proto 2000, BLI and Tangent cars.

Woo hoo!!!


As Tom mentioned, maybe now you can tackle a Tichy tank car. I've always wanted to be able to do one.

Thanks, Jaime.  Now that you guys have thrown down the gauntlet.  I may have to get one next time Mr. Tichy has a sale.
