I stumbled over this car at a small model railroad swap meet, and having posted it on
line someone joked I might add a nuclear power plant to augment it. That I did!

This venerable Tyco piece is lettered for the PRR, which is possibly a pointed irony at
the Three Mile Island mishap of 1979, in Pennsylvania? In any event, there was a lot
of anxiety about nuclear power, in those days.

Here is a little video promoting nuclear power, especially when guys like WALT
are draining the grid!!!

Keeping with the triple-dome tanker theme.....

Here's my Union '76 triple dome tanker that just arrived in the mail today! It will be used on RETRO TYCO.

Chops, I don't believe they made the Sohio tanker very long, I think I've heard it one a one year run...
