A F Tank Car Question


 

Thanks Peter. If you happen to know which edition(s) of the S Gaugian had that series, please let me know.
Perhaps someone here has the issue(s) and would be willing to scan and share it...?

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?
?

The Seaboard tank reads 8000 gal, and the waste oil looks to read 6450 gals but someone may have a better photo.
