i am a die hard chessie modeler but before i started modeling the chessie sytem I modled the SP. i never made it vary far ith the SP but even after leaving SP i still ant a fourty car train modell of the famous "oil cans". 10 or 15 years ago i sa that roundhouse made a good replica of the GATX cars used in the train and another company in the super detailing section of the althers catalog offered the flexiable hoses beteen the cars. I have not had any luck finding this car or the hoses, i kon their out there cause iv several model of the oil cans on club layouts if anyone can point me in the right direction and help me find the cars and parts im looking for i ould be vary greatfull i have 7 SD40T-2's and 2 SD45's all detailed up in SP paint and ready to haul the oil cans. P.S. if anyone has the stuff im looking for or knos someone that has the stuff and ould like to sell it let me kno. Thank You.

hey Chessiecat, The Roundhouse kits are the only ones (I'm almost positive) that were ever made. I have one that I broke the plastic walkway in half getting it off the REALLY thick spru. I've checked, Plano hasn't made the etched walkway yet. Send me your addy and I'll send you the car I have. I have it most of the way done, but I didn't use glue to install the bolsters or whatever they're called together, so if you want to detail the car as below, it'll be pretty easy. Maybe leave the owner of the car on the page(s) below a message and ask what he used for the walkways, but I don't think they get emails when someone leaves a message, so you might never get an answer. www.pbase.com/espeeboy/image/22374606www.pbase.com/espeeboy/image/22374601www.pbase.com/espeeboy/image/22374611www.pbase.com/espeeboy/wpm2003&page=all |

While that's not the car chess is looking for, the car does use the same body and ends. The parts included are different, but on a separate note, $15 is way high for that kit. I bought 5 of them for 9 bucks a piece on ebay lettered for ATSF each with a different car #. Also note he's asking for $25 for shipping.  -On the way Chess! oh, what did you guys think of that gallery? Those came out really nice! |

Yeah they came out great! I wonder what he used for flexible pipe connecting cars, maybe thick wire?
