I have not acquired very many tank cars yet. I found these two high speed Metal Products tank cars at a garage sale. They are basically toys. They had decent weight to them and I thought they had potential. I notched out the aluminum chassis on the bottom with a razor saw, drilled small holes and installed micro trains trucks. They now roll flawlessly. Later I found another one. But the chassis was plastic, so that one didn't work. I don't know how they could call it high speed Metal Products then? My favorite tanker car so far is the blue one.

More tank cars or cabooses please.

PS.... I hope all the fragile parts on your cabooses survived the derailment South Penn

The same way Classic Metal Works is still called Classic Metal Works even though almost everything they make is made of plastic. You need to be very careful when you name your new company.

This is old in another sense. A Varney (?) boxcar from the 50s. Cast metal sides, ends and roof, and a wood floor. The original metal trucks were so worn out the wheels would fall out, so I replaced with newer plastic trucks, metal wheels and kadee couplers. We still run it on the Boothbay Railway Village layout
