Are you looking for N Scale from Atlas Model RR or HO Scale from some other company?

"No soup for you!" - Yev Kassem (from Seinfeld)
Walthers released a kit quite a few years ago to use real beercans to make tank cars, are these what you are refering to? If you are refering to the short tank cars, I've seen them on the Iowa Interstate in Council Bluffs, IA hauling corn syrup (and lettered for something along that line too).

Hey,
I have never heard of a beercan tanker before. I tryed to find one on Railpictures.net but none are listed. Just wondering if anyone has a picture.
Merry Christmas to all
Thanks slickfg

This seems odd. These cars, when empty, would weigh less than loaded cars. They probably weighed no more than most other loaded cars when loaded, perhaps less. I would think that the small quantity of cargo that they could haul is what eliminated them. Also, I have seen, on rare occasions, tankcars just over 30' long just a few years ago.
These may be not tankers but they are still certainly Beer Cars. Interesting liveries none the less.
