MOC: Liquid gas transport by train

[andy16806]

Had some white cylinders lying, and made a transport-container for liquid gas.

The containers can transport any kind of gas.

More pictures can be seen at MoCPages.

Looks nice but the picture is rather small. Any chance of getting larger ones? I have no experience uploading from Mocpages but I'm sure someone around here does.

Looks pretty good, this waggon. Is it based on a real-life waggon?

Thanks for positive remarks. The wagon itself isn't that exiting I think. I made the containers so they would fit on a flatbed. I haven't actually seen anyone of these myself, because there are no trains where I live. But as was mentioned earlier in this tread, someone thought it looked like something they've seen before. Liquid gas has to be transported in one way or another...

Anyway here are some more pictures taken from MoCPages. (I didn't want to post too many large pictures at first)

I've seen something similar just yesterday(although on a trunk not train). It was a single tank of some kind in a frame so in could be carried like a standard shipping container. I'd imagine something atleast similar in function to what you built exists.

Here a picture similar to what I saw.
