www.flickr.com/photos/53243414@N00/page1/?details=1This was a tough build! There are 52 solder joints on the walkway stanchions and 228 rivets applied one at a time. This car hauled 23000 gals of Phosphorus. Phosphorus is very heavy, thus the small car, that is compared to the other multi-axle tank cars. It was part of the MONX 23000-23023 series of tank cars Thanks for looking. Regards, Bobby

That thing is a beast! Nice work, it's almost a shame to paint it.

Thanks Mike. As much as I hate to paint, that's not a bad idea!
