I see that Atlas is now offering some 33,000 gallon tank cars. Included is a PRR tanker in tuscan and white--an interesting combo. I have a couple of questions:is this a reissue by Atlas and is this a fantasy scheme?

Norm,
Per an on-line PRR roster I reviewed, PRR owned no 33,000 gal. tankers. The closest to that size that PRR operated was a 38,040 gal tanker that looks nothing like the Atlas offering.

Not quite. The body looks similar. What one would need to do is add a platform above the trucks and swap out the 2 axle trucks with three axle pullman style passenger trucks. I may get the car just to do this.
