Hello everyone, the attached picture shows a high pressure tank car which I saw a white one in my area a few days ago and really liked the offset look of the ladder,etc. I haven't had any luck finding an O gauge model of this in any color. I prefer white or light gray. Let me know if anyone is aware of where I could find this. Thanks.

Have these been produced as a model?
You could search the Lionel and MTH (and Atlas) websites for "tank cars" and peruse the photos to see if such a thing has been made. I don't do the modern stuff much so I have not paid attention. I'd bet on Atlas.
Don't forget "Archived Items" on the Lionel site.
Lionel has a nice tank car that's for ethanol:
Atlas has an offset handrail version. Just not as big as in the pic above. I believe they have others. I think you'll only find your pictured one in HO scale.
Engineer Joe, those are nice looking tank cars, and great scenic trackwork. Thanks for the beautiful pictures. Happy Railroading
I have made some odd tank cars in the past. That one does not look to difficult to make. Another possibility would be to take a similar car and just create a new top handrail and install new connections.

they aren't mine! 
found them on a search...
here's some of mine. Tank cars are my favorite. The newest Atlas ones are fantastic. I still need the 25,500 gallon version!
(My car and engine yards are getting scenery so the cars are out on the mains or still in boxes)
Thanks all, got some thinking to do
