12,500 Gallon Tank Cars

These cars are modeled after 12,500 gallon cars built by General American from the 1920's through 1940's. They're ideal for a steam to diesel transition era setting. The pack also includes some three-compartment cars with triple domes which actually have three separate compartments in game. All cars feature functional hazmat placards with warnings appropriate for their paint schemes (or blank for non-hazmat paint schemes). The placards change automatically for empty cars. As usual with my packs, this one includes generic colorable versions (both single and triple dome) and a randomizer which mixes in both the single and triple dome skins for variety. In total there are 45 different skins. There are a handful for various railroads, but the majority are lettered as privately owned or leased cars as the majority of real tank cars were. Many of these have colorful "billboard" schemes designed to advertise the business they worked for.
Railroad Owned (all single dome):

• Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe (Water Service)
  
• Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe (Solvent)
