Hawker Siddeley built some long tank cars in the 1960sthat were in Canadian service  but how bash-able they might be from the Athearn model I cannot say.

The Athearn car matches the CB&Q car.  It is close to but not exactly the GN car.

No, the only railroads that rostered that car were the GN & CB&Q and by merger the BN.

Rule 1: This is my railroad.

Rule 2: I make the rules.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!

I have an Arthearn 62 foot tank car decorated for the Canadian Pacific. Did the CPR roster any of those tankcars?
