If anyone bought these I'd like your opinions and photos if possible. They are pricey so I'd like to know before I take the plunge. Thanks.

I do not own these, but from what I've seen. The tanks are rather cheap looking
Heres a thread with some great photos: https://ogrforum.com/...nel-s-40-flat-w-tank
If it were me I'd find one of the earlier (2008) MTH flats with 2 tanks offerings.
These have two tanks per flatcar, the later ones have only one tank , and it has been discussed here that the newer tanks are too large.
IMO.For the same money, the MTH is superior.
Theres a New York Central version of the MTH with 2 Sherman tanks on the bay right now. I know your looking for PRR. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-I...EE-SHIP/264849650079
Heres an old photo of the MTH flatcar from Mr. Muffin for comparison:
IMO they are overpriced as the tanks are plastic and nothing moves.

Don't waste your money. As others have stated the tanks are junk. The value is the flatcar but not for what they are asking.

Gee, Menards has done a LOT of military flatcars w/ loads. Maybe they have something that that is better for much less.
Google 1/48 Sherman tank models and if you are into making your own, there are quite a few available. Also 1/35 scale is offered.
