Modifying a K-Line all metal tankcar

 

This K-Line model is an all diecast metal tankcar that includes sprung trucks, detailed underbody brakegear and metal steps. The car appears to be typical of early tankcars manufactured through the 1940's.

 

After comparing the model with some examples of prototype tank cars from this era the tank car was modified by removing the "deck" attached to the top dome.  See the before and after photos for comparison.
