Thanks Ken! Geez, I went to hoseeker, looked right at that document and didn't recognize it. 
It'll be a perfect match up to the Roundhouse Climax lokie that I just picked up on eBay as well!

So this UP tank car arrived today. Cute lil' bugger, but the trucks are kind of ...... well, ugly. I'm thinking I might order some arch bars for it. What do y'all think would look better on it?
It's also missing one ladder. Is plastic ladder material available?
It's currently disassembled for a paint job. Satin black frame and the tank will probably end up being something bright and flagged a whimsical name having something to do with the early oil days of Pennsylvania.

hey Dave ; Those Fox trucks are ok for that tank car. As long as it stays on the track, dont need to change them.

Well, it is stable going round the track, but man those trucks are ugly. Maybe I'll just knock the shine off of them and wash some rust into the crevices.
About the plastic ladder material ... does anyone know of anything available?
