Hi TC. The composite gondola made by SSA is a USRA design car from 1919, used by many railroads. It could be updated for many of them with sheet styrene "steel" sides, especially favored by NYC.
The tank car is based on a Walthers HO car of 1980's vintage. That model itself mated the ancient Varney tank to a sort-of GATX frame. I've converted the car to ACF prototype by adding side and end sills, and a GATX car just needs two-rung corner steps and some additional detailing. It's a reasonable 10,000 gal steam era tank car, in other words, but can be improved. Pieter E.
