Hi Bobby  Great to see one of your tank cars ... ... without its shirt on !  It's good to be able to see, at least some of, the parts ... ... of which I'm sure you have a HUGE stash !  Etched-brass 'whatnots', brake-cylinders, NBWs ... ... yer know the kinda stuff.  Nice lookin' tank car.    Si. |

Thanks a lot Si, I appreciate it ! The styrene tube is 3/4 inch and was hard to find. I wrapped it with .015 sheet styrene to achieve the correct diameter. Regards, Bobby |

Hi Bobby I love seeing your paintless construction photos !  (maybe that's why I never get round to painting mine !)    A question I have been meaning to ask you Bobby ...  ... what thou" brass-wire do you use for HO grabs & handrails ? I guess you have a few different dia. gauges, of what looks good ?  Si. |

Thanks Si ! Tichy has a great selection of grabs, end steps and wire. The car is painted and decaled, but the photo is too big to post. I'll try to cut it down. Regards, Bobby |
