Re: A F Tank Car Question


 

Hi John;

I think they are much too large for an 8000 gal. car. There was a series in S Gaugian on prototypes for AF models. As I recall the author thought it was a 10,000 gal, but about 20% oversized (the Car Builders Cyc shows one drawing with a table of dimensions for the different capacities).

Speaking of the AF Tank Car...

Does anyone here have any idea what prototype this model may have been based on?? Or what TYPE and CAPACITY of car it is supposed to represent?

It never occurred to me before tonight... but could this car possibly represent a 8000 gallon car similar to the one in the attached photos?? Or could it be used (without too much major surgery) as a starting point to model one of these cars?
