Thank you for your comments. Here are two attachments. The equipment diagram, like I said, is pretty basic, but is useful for comparing an existing model to the overall dimensions. The second is a memory-lane exercise as Hol was standing next to me when I shot this in Sterling, Colorado when we were on our way to a BRHS meet in Lincoln years ago.

Subject: [CBQ] TM-6 Tank cars

Some months back, there was a discussion about modeling the TM-6 tank cars built by Havelock in 1949.   Here is my version using an American Limited ACF car as a starting point.  The model, as sold,  represents an all welded car purchased by the AT&SF a year or so after the Q built their version.  Since the two cars are within inches of each other dimensionally, Archer tank car rivets solved the problem of back-dating the model car (see photos). The major modifications were to the underbody and brake arrangement: the Q car having four walk way supports versus three on the ACF car. Other than an equipment diagram sheet, I had to guess-timate everything from photos of the cars in service.  The first two model photos show the modified car prior to painting.  The flange at the base of the dome  was done with Chartpak tape and the rivets were added after the tape had been sealed with some ACC so it would not come loose.  The third photo shows the finished product after painting, lettering (with an ancient Champ decals set) and weathering with Dullcoat and weathering powders/chalks.  While its a pretty decent model on its own, the final photo shows it in context wiith other models, so it was worth the effort!  Hope you find something of use here.  Jim Sandrin
