.......That is definitely an unusual tank car - I don’t think I’ve ever seen a six dome car. Thanks for sharing.

I had not seen a six-dome car either and wasn't sure there was a prototype for it. So I looked it up after I bought it. This is a car made specifically to haul wine. There were two styles of 6-dome wine cars, one by General American Tank Car and the other by American Car & Foundry. This 3rd Rail all brass model is of an AC&F car.

My notes say Ed Hawkins provided this information: Wine comes in all sorts of types and quality. Much of what was hauled by rail, was a lower grade product that was bottled in the market area served. Wine cars came in different configurations ranging from single compartment, two, three, four and six compartment designs.

Here are a couple more pics of my 6-dome:
