Hi Ho al.

Can anyone recomend a good reference book that would have rollingstock info and/or photos from the 40’s-50’s with details on tank cars? I am putting together a number of “Tichy” kits for a solid consist of tank cars as may have been seen in the WWII era. I am looking for paint schemes and decal/dry transfers herals or company data. All lthis on 8k/10k gallon tankers.

I am doing the same thing with refers to go along with a food terminal destination.

Thanks, Shortline Joe
