I'm searching for a water tank car, used on the Gilpin railroad in the late 1800's. I'm finding a lot of round tankers, but this one is a rectangular metal tank on a flatcar. Any ideas, I'm not adverse to hacking the tank together and kit-bashing one onto a flat car myself, but have not found much of any type of tank that would work yet. 

I'm modeling in HOn3 scale so 1/87 sized. The tank held 2200 gallons of water. Basically a metal rectangular tank mounted on top of a narrow gauge flatcar.

For those of you that followed The Diesel Detailer forum, and the Facebook page.

The founder Buck Besson, otherwise known as Old Uncle Buck......aka Randy Earl passed away last night at 10:30pm.

Just thought I would share this.

Hi everyone,

I have a multi part question... I am primarily modeling 1954 but I have set my railroad up to change for multiple eras. I am now looking to 1969. My railroad is the GN and I am familiar with their changes in the 1960's, "circus cars, glacier green, and big sky blue" but I am less familiar with rolling stock changes around the nation at the same time. The GN was acquiring covered hoppers but the vast majority of their fleet was 55% boxcars and they were one of the few railroads making good money during this time. My questions are as follows.

I live about 15 minutes away from the quaint downtown area of Winter Garden, Florida.  There are many cool things about the town, but what I really like is that there are TWO railroad stations open to the public (one of them is a museum) and TWO cabooses!

This Family Lines (L&N!) sits behind the museum. 

And this Chessie sits in front of the welcome center.
