This is my freelance 3/4" tank car I made with scrap materials and cutoffs.

Good job...can you fill it with ice and beer?
Too many things going on to bother listing them.

Hi Bill, I would have loved to have made it a cooler or a beverage dispenser! This was my first attempt at a tank car so I wanted to stay focused on finishing it and learning from it. I was thinking if I could find some sort of a beverage plastic bag it could go on the inside? Just a thought.
The three attached screen shots are possible future 3/4” projects. I like the modern tank car with no frame under the tank. The open car is also a great looking car.

Just as an FYI, I am currently developing affordable, 3D printed trucks for 3/4" scale. They are just like their HO scale cousins, only much larger. (Yes, the springs had a misprint issue)

A little locomotive with 4 wheels on the track is a lot more fun
than a 1/2 finished one with 16 wheels on the bench!
