I've seen tank car warning placards posted before but, as usual, the "Search the Community" function is worthless. I can find the actual railroad documents showing and describing these placards but I don't want to have to print out 40 pages of these single-sign examples to get enough placards for my fleet of cars. Does anyone know a link to a printable set of these placards in HO scale?

I just Googled "Tank Car Warning Placards" and found several printable pages as well as links to decal sets. Oddly enough, one of the first pages to pop up was a 2011 post from this forum. Why can't the Search the Community function find this?
Hornblower,
I'm assuming You mean Hazmat Placards for Tank cars??
What I did quite some time ago, was purchase a couple of JL Innovative design Hazard/warning signs and copied all I wanted on My ink jet printer. You will need four (4) on every side of Tank Car/Trailer/Inntermodal Container:

They are out of stock but You should be able to get them some where else too.
I used a CA gel lightly to glue them on.
Take Care,

I have a few in this album, mostly older, pre-DOT/FRA/OSHA era:

Any individual one can be downloaded and imported into your graphic program.
Good Luck, Ed
Thanks Ed ! I think I need that Texas Beef Council for a billboard.

Era matters. Hazmat placards changed dramatically in the mid 1970's and then again (but not quite as much) in the 1980's-1990's.
Of the Walther's placards only 10 of them are for railcars, and are for the 1970-1990 era.
Pullman's placards are for pre-1970's cars.
