Vintage Helium transport rolling stock, show yours?

A scratchbuilt (or maybe kit-built?) one:

Crude? yes. Expensive? No.:

EDIT: Unknown by whom or when it was built; a friend got it for me at one of the Strasburg 2-rail shows.

Dave! Whether kit or fabrication, I like your helium car find, even better a Strasburg  show keeper! It doesn’t have to be a rivet counters paradise! It tells the story well. I like the photos, thank you much.

I believe the vintage  kits were made by a couple of different makers. There is ample information and discussion tucked in on this site.

The high end brass model was a Pecos River Brass offering. I did see one or two of these at the Stamford O scale meet back in the eighties (Memorable times when All Nation and locomotive workshop items were on the tables in abundance). I read that Pecos River production yielded eighty of them in O scale (2 rail) and eighty in H.O.

thanks for sharing.
