Beautiful work as always Bobby (including the paint finish). I am reminded seeing those two extremes coupled together that years ago passing sidings used to be listed by car capacity. Imagine having a train with cars like that in the consist and having to wonder if you fit in that upcoming "63 car capacity" siding for a meet. No wonder you now hear and see all references to siding capacity in feet rather than numbers of cars.

They both look great! The big fella is a little too new, and long, for my purposes but the little guy would be just fine without some of the data decals. Are you taking orders?!?

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Bobby,
Those cars do make an interesting contrast. I especially like the asymmetrical walway needed for clearance on the big one.

I posted photos of my scratched tank cars photographed together and in natural sunlight. The 48,000 gal car was one in a series of the largest production tank cars built in the USA. There were two larger, but they were one offs. The 2225 gal car was one of the smallest built. I hope you enjoy the contrast.
Regards, Bobby
