     (...) Hi Dave, Pretty good! Some of the better looking tankers I've seen. I've always wanted to build tankers myself, and even tried a couple times, but I have always been frustrated by the fact that LEGO never produced cylindrical parts with the (...)

     (...) How about the following cylindrical design, using parts with a reasonable diameter: (URL) This type uses pairs of: (URL) part #45410 - Slope, Curved 8 x 6 x 2 Inverted Double> (URL) part #45411 - Slope, Curved 8 x 6 x 2 Double> With friendly (...)

         Re: Chemical Tanker Cars - Rolling Stock —Mark Assi
     (...) Thanks for the suggestion. One thing I try to do though is build trains that can be reproduced. The parts you suggested might work out, but unfortunately the inverted part seems to be very limited and the none inverted one can only be (...) (16 years ago, 29-Sep-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

     (...) Haha, just one more compelling reason for LEGO to release a public available version of set #4999 - Vestas windturbine promo set. (16 years ago, 30-Sep-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
   
        Re: Chemical Tanker Cars - Rolling Stock —Manfred Moolhuysen
   (...) I respect James Mathis for his great construction method finds and MOC ideas, but I believe that the original credit for this type of tanker design should go to Steve Barile, who together with Dwayne Towell is the co-owner of custom set (...)

        Re: Chemical Tanker Cars - Rolling Stock —Dave Sterling
   (...) Wow. That's wild! I've never even seen the Bricworx site. That's pretty crazy how close mine came to Steve's. Mine was actually based off of a picture on James' Brickshelf page. You can see it (URL) here>. Crazy how we builders sometimes think (...) (16 years ago, 25-Sep-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
