Those cars are made of formed steel plates. You could probably kitbash one out of a Walthers funnel flow tank car kit. Any of the kits similar to 932-7203 would be a good start. It least it would give you the round ends and the funnel flow bottom. You could use a pvc pipe or something similar to make up the main body. Or possibly you "roll your own" body out of sheet stock([.030?]Plastruct). by warming the plastic in a double boiler(remember to wear hand/eye protection!) and then using a wooden dowel about 12" long with a diameter similar to the tank car ends. This would all be by trial and error until you get it to look like what you want. Some ladder stock, paint, decals etc. and you would be done. As for the paint job? Well it looks like Oscar Meyer WeeNee Mobile on rails! Rick
