Tyco/Mantua Single Dome Tank Cars. I am making a 50-car Southern Pacific tank car train and I need about 40 more.
I also need ladders and handrails for these cars if anyone has them in their junk boxes. If anyone has just the frames with the steps intact I would like those to repair the cars that had them broken off. My goal is to make 50 GOOD tank cars. I'm willing to pay reasonable item and shipping costs.
Thanks!!!! Vince We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse.

I would like them to be identical, so yes. I know some have the brake wheel on the end of the car and some had the brake wheel on the frame. (Like the one in the photo.) I would take either one. I can easily move it if I have to.
I'm sorry to say I have no Lionel at all. In fact I only have about a dozen box cars in all.
What I can do is print out that photo and take it with me to some upcoming train shows. If I find any of them I will buy it and send it to you.

I have a big box of older freight cars (mostly tyco/life-like/old bachmann) that I have no interest in keeping. There might be a couple in there, I will check when I find the box.--CRC
