**Model Building With Dan! Railyard Models GATX Sulfur Tank Car Build!**

Starting up a new series of tank car builds with this first car, a Railyard Models Trinity sulfur tank car! Here I show my methods to building this resin kit and improving or scratchbuilding different components!

[@bullittbob2140]

I love that you are doing build videos! keep them coming as these days its rare to see a kit built rather tan a RTR car.

[@jimnicholas7666]

Great work as always! You make it look easy.

[@jimmyseaver3647]

I like the older kits regardless of detail level. They're often just therapeutic to build and a part of me hopes to find one of these motherlode stashes out there somewhere.

Howdy Dan! Awesome stuff - end product is amazing! Always enjoy your tips and tricks. Thanks for sharing 🤠

Nice !! I have managed to collect enough Walthers Molten Sulfur Tank car's for a short 13 car consist and 12 Athearn rtr and Genesis Sulphuric Acid Tank cars for some east/west traffic

Hi Dan & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Dan & Friends Randy

[@williamfeather1753]

great job and great viedo from william

[@RFMCabooseNP1713]

Very cool.

Great video on tank cars modifications. There isn't a wide range of this cars in model form. Kit bashing one car at the moment that looks like TILX 200157 and DBCX 9824. Intermountain's 19,000 corn syrup cars are a good start. They are a pain to cut because it's not a tube. Its made in sections. Walthers 25,000 gallon car is a good model for a Ethylene Oxide car like TILX 401553. Walthers could offer their 16,000 funnel flow car for Sodium Hydroxide service with the black band. But presently you have make your own. The Red band Hydrochloric Acid cars like RCRX 1673 with and without end shields are a needed car to.

great job Dan

[@154Colin]

Looks very nice Dan. Impressed by your work. ----------------- If you do repeated (fleet builds') do you set up fixtures to aid in consistency? ------------------ I imagine the wealth of detail parts that can be scavenged from "discards" at model railroad swap meets, shows, hobby shops; etc. can be a invaluable resource.

Good job

[@JohnPingley]

Excellent video as always. Craftsman kits can be a bit of a pain, especially for those of us with little patience. Just one question: have you considered using MagnaLock magnetic brake hoses from Pacific Western Rail Systems? As for my trains (which I no longer have due to a life change), since I didn't use magnetic uncouplers, I cut off the trip pins and installed Kadee air hoses. (To which I had planned attaching MagnaLock brake hoses)

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

I really would have liked to see a few clips of the painting process and maybe laying down decals. I like watching the whole process. On another note, have you tried the out the brake set available on shapeways? I’ve used them on my build and it’s a little better than that Tichy sprue.

[@DansRailroad2011]

I can film some of that step in my next tank build!

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

@@DansRailroad2011 cool thanks. I’ve only done one tank from bare plastic so I’m interested to see what your methods are. Also looks like shapeways filed for bankruptcy last week.

@@ScottTaipaleRail Yowza. And it's Chapter 7 (the company's dead and being liquidated) rather than the usual Chapter 11 (time off from paying debts to allow restructuring).

I think if you go to an office supply store that has printing services you might be able to access CD, or if not they could possibly know of a service that does. I am sure that someone provides legacy printing.

[@markstrahlendorf6325]

Nice build . Maybe you could redo the sound. It dropped out a few times.

[@majikglustik9704]

Take your microdisk cd to your local library, or even The UPS store; burn off a copy on diskette...

[@beeble2003]

In 1994, I'm sure there were people who had floppy drives on their computer but no CDR. In 2024, nobody has a floppy drive, except retrocomputing geeks who also have CDRs.
