My Mom was very crafty . She always looked at my trains as they were so very precious. That's how I became a train collector and see them the way she did. Check out the family layout this year and see all the trees and cars that mom made , They both worked on the cars. 😉☺
This was just another marketing strategy by Lionel and other manufacturers at the time. Also homes were much larger and the larger trains had more room to run the rails.
No I looked al over. I saw tell tale runs in the paint on the frame. Also looked at all the tabs for scratches and bend marks and saw none at all. Look at the break wheel stands, surface rust. The top of the tank has very small and lite spots of discoloring. The wheels and axles have the same. BUT IT DOSE LOOK VERY NICE............ never found one like this at a very nice price.... Thanks for looking
Great find , the tank car most underrepresented car in model train layouts .
Love the tree your mom made.

You got that rite. Your talking about the microwave bowel holder. I thought it was a real neat idea. Thanks for the comment.
Why did they make different size wheels?
