Tank cars of the 30s. Were?

Did you check out the lengthy description about Tank Cars (O Scale Freight Car Guide: Tank Cars), posted further down on this Forum? There is wealth of information posted there, including photos of the Atlas O 8000 gallon tank cars you are inquiring about.

Thanks, somehow I didn't look to hard at the Atlas. Got 1, only need 1 more now. (Tank cars are pricey)

The prices on Atlas O tank cars keep increasing too!

Thanks Hot Water.  One of the reasons I have written the O Scale Freight Car Guide series is so I can just refer people to them for frequently asked questions.  Now I don't even have to do the referral!

 

Way Cool.

The Lionel Standard O and Atlas Master line tank cars are good candidates.  And so are the MTH Rail King and Atlas Industrial rail tanks cars if you are looking for a lower priced model with less detail.  If you look on page 2 of the O scale tank car guide thread Ray Marion converted a Rail King tank car to Kadees.  On the high end San Juan Car now offers a 6000 gallon tank car that could be 3 railed.

Thanks, exactly what I'm looking for. Our plant had 2, we filled them with light ends of styrene, and styrene waste, ( pumps, shafts were lubrication was done using the product leakage). When full, company engine hauled down to Boiler house, unloaded with a slip stream of steam was used to atomize and fuel boilers.
The Tank cars had Built Dates of 1936 and 38 on them. We bought them for 2000.00 each in 1967 and used them in the 2010.

Going to recreate a small portion of this.
