Terrific modelling! The baby tank car must be newborn because it has no weathering. The weathering on the other two cars is really nice.

Back in my consulting days, I used to do soil vapor surveys with a portable gas chromatograph. We often did surveys with suspected chlorinated compounds and set the library up to identify Tetra Chlorethylene, TCE, cis and trans DCE. A breakdown procuct of DCE was yep, Vinyl Chloride. It was so extremely volatile it shot through the machine fast and was tricky to ID. Of course we had to be 40 OHSA Hazwoper trained with yearly 8 hour refreshers.

The three cars hauled very dangerous cargo! The Phosphorus car was a rolling bomb. Phosphorus ignites when exposed to air! I was told two of them caught on fire and they never were able to put out the fire, so they buried them!?

They're much smaller though! Google Phosphorus railroad tank car to see them. Smaller, but still neat looking! Thanks, Bobby
