Is there a kit available for building an old time tank car? It actually looks more like two large upright tubs or vats sitting on a flat car.
Do you mean something like this?

Yes, but that is very toy-like. I'm looking for something like the 1865 Densmore Oil Tank Car or the Empire Transportation Company rail tank car also invented in 1865.

No argument from me, and I'm not aware of a specific kit, but maybe you can start here and scratchbuild.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
