I got two Roundhouse kits last weekend. They are ATSF Type Tk-R tank cars made by Richmond Tank Car using tanks fabricated by Trinity Industries in about 1974. The series was 98400 -98524 for 125 cars. One is a water green band and I've been able to find details and photos to get it right. The other is a gasoline red band for which I'm having poor luck in getting a photo that shows top of the tank detail. So here's my questions: 1. Were all 125 used for water? The folio drawing give dimensions but not indicated use. 2. If some were in fact used for gasolene did these still use the small dome? 3. A photo of an older ATSF framed tank car for gasolene had the dome painted red. Was this practice continued? 4. What was ATSF using water tank cars for to request new manufacture in 1974? Thanks in Advance Mike
