Here is a retro HO scale tank car with a rarely never seen road name Pegasus Oil Company, with a recording marking od H&P 753. It setps back to the 1950's with its tin plate cars and sets. The car is 99% steel metal. Only the wheels are different. It has a form of Kupsee couplers and will couple up with most hook and loop couplers.
This is from a old Macy's tin plate train set. This cars will run on HO gague track I am trying to clean it up as much as possiable. The only rust damage is to a letter S on one side.

A little extra on this old tinplate tank car.

What I've done is use this old tank car and add a newer frame and trucks, and couplers to allow it to run with other HO freight cars.

I love the look of those old steam locos... such art and craftmanship went into them.
