Thanks Charlie.  I looked at some old photos on line of steam era tankers and found they were built for specific industries and mostly oil as far as the photos I found.  I printed out the data and number markings with white lettering on black back ground and glued them on the cars.  The edges are not too noticeable if you squint a bit.  I enjoyed the project and found the cars quite resonable on the "bay".

I enjoy making the floorboard loads for them that I can keep changing at will.

Casey - Can you tell me about the cable reels you have pictured - the bottom right corner please? 

 

Yes Scott, I am sorry I was away this weekend and did not see your request.

 

The black and silver reels were made by K=line, the black ones are the older version. I took one of the silver ones and cut it in half just to create something different, and the large reel in the middle I found at a train meet and is from an American flyer flatcar load with a PRR decal. If you can check my older posts from about one year ago I explained how I make my floorboard loads and what I use to mount the pieces.

 

Hope This Helps. Casey
