They look absolutely authentic, so I agree! Nice job.

Thanks Neil, I can't recall many mill service cars that looked nice and clean.

Another side project...

Hi Folks,

Nice work - your skills have been really improving with each new project.

Completed Staley (STSX) tanks, using the TS CGTX Acid tank shapes, probably not the right model but its good enough for me. Does TS have a proper corn tank shape?

Does TS have a proper corn tank shape?

Yep. About 4000 gal larger. 19,000 gal corn, 16,000 slurry and 15,000 acid. The first instance was in either the CN or CP GP9R packs and probably also came in the MacTier pack or some route afterwards. These are some pvt repaints done by others and sent to me.


Corn left, acid right.

The above contains plans and specifications for a 19600 gal corn syrup tank car. The gbrx site has plans and specifications for most of their leasing fleet.

Thanks for that info, I may have to revisit these with the appropriate shape.

Did some more digging through zip files and the same Casco corn car was in both the CP GP9U set (whatever that was rebundled to nowadays) or the Mactier trainsets (this pack had both the corn car and the very different slurry car)

Ok, these are awesome... even if on the slightly wrong car. I could look into making the right shape.
