Leo,
The "Tank Car Guys" and scale makers shouldda got together a long time ago and
agreed on how long these things oughtta be in relation to each other (maybe
they did). You and Gary and Bob and a host of other rails GOT to remember
tryin' to spot the loads (partial) at Armor. After about 6 or 7 spots you'd try
about a half dozen times to get the rest of 'em to stop on the weigh rails
which, I believe, were about three/ tenthousandths longer than the car's
wheelbase. Ten or more of these things would pull or shove everything, along
with the Geep, 2 to 3 carlengths when the tallow ran into the end of the car.
