GATX 96500 96' 7 5/8" tanker

What a whale! At nearly 24', I can't imagine too many layouts being able to handle it.

Pretty impressive. Judging by the plaque, it's in a museum. Where?

St Louis.

It would have been a limited edition brass model if produced in O Scale.

UTLX #83699, was rated at 50,000 US gallons (190 m3; 42,000 imp gal). It first hit the rails in 1963, remained in service for over twenty years, and is now on display at the Museum of Transportation in Saint Louis, Missouri.

That would be a really cool rail car to scratch build. I have built many tank cars but nothing like this one. I am going to think about it.
