I bought this tank car at a train show for $2. The body feels like it is solid metal. This car is very heavy for it's size. Got metal wheels and sprung trucks. No manufacturer markings that I can find.

Any chance to see an underneath shot of that? It looks like an MDC Roundhouse but is difficult to tell and I'm not even sure of that even....
Plastic tank?

NC,
Well sadly, its not an MDC Roundhouse as I thought......UNLESS those trucks aren't the correct ones for it......Anyone else have a clue?

After quick Google search of the road name and car number, it appears to be a product of Model Power from their "Metal Train" product line.

Thanks. That's it. Someone must have filled it with lead. It's kind of top heavy.
