I built these cars several years ago, but never did any decent photos. These are passable I hope.

Always liked these two Bobby. Where did you get the plans for the 2 dome car?

Adam, the plans were in MRC in 1989. I can't remember the month. There was a build article for a three dome version an the two dome in, I think 1991?

The weights are metric? What's the story there?
Funny, the cars are bigger than I thought they would be. When loaded they would weigh a ton!

The weights are both metric and standard. The Bromine car lasted into the time period that required both. Bromine weighs 28 lbs a gal, so the car would be quite heavy for its size. The two dome carried motor oil, so it is relatively light. Both car are very small.

I got to switch out a few of those Bromine cars in Adrian, MI around 2000. Staff handbrakes are a good indicator if your conductor is brave enough to ask engineer for help.
