This early tank car was inspired by an early drawing for one that ran on the Central Pacific around 1880. The sparse documentation stated it was used in oil service. Technically, any liquid could be transported, such as mineral water heading to the bottling plant.

This was before the time of air brakes and other safety features. The car featured link & pin couplers when built.

The model consists of laser-cut wood and cardstock components with hardware in plastic and brass. Less trucks and couplers - Wizard Water Works decals are included. Athearn O scale Archbar trucks are shown on the model.

Oh, yea, the Wizard Water Works bottling plant is being built now. There needs to be several of these vat cars on the line to service the plant's needs.
