This 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!

Thank you Mr. Harpe, that's very kind of you. I will have it painted, decaled and weathered before Savannah RPM. Only 27 days to go.
