Kitbashing A Two Dome Tank Car
 
 
This two dome tanker was a quick four hour project. Bob simply took two old AF® track cleaning car tanks, removed one end from each and glued them side by side with Pro-Weld. He then placed them on the chassis of an AF® tank car. To finish the project Bob covered the seam with strip styrene and added a bit more strip styrene to complete the catwalks. The car was finally airbrushed gray and black and lettered with Champ HO decals. We believe this is the only two dome tanker available in S other than one in a craftsman kit form offered by LVM.
Editor's Note: I'm told by Chris Zizzo that American Hi-Rail, when you can find them, offers a painted, RTR, Gulf tanker that is a dead ringer for the 1 and 3 dome AF versions. Chris says he saw and handled them at York.
