For a cluster of junkyness I almost posted a photo of a Penn-Central coach yard.

That would have worked for me!

Please show your smallest capacity tank car.

Here is my smallest tank car, but not too small. It is a three domed PENSYLVANNIA TM-8 8,000 gallon tank car decorated for Ethyl Corporation.

I do not have a picture of it in scenery, because I did not paint it, and it is factory fresh, not suitable for scenery pictures. It is one of the few "collector" pieces I own.

A lot of my family has worked for Ethyl, and this car has spent much of its life in a display case on a desk. It came to me from my uncle.

Show me another small tank car please.

For a cluster of junkyness I almost posted a photo of a Penn-Central coach yard. But I digress.

Here's a better example.
