Hello again everyone! I finally got around to taking pictures of a lot of
the MOC’s I built this spring and summer for the two shows we did this year.
This MOC is a few tanker cars I built based off of a design by James Mathis.

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 foundary BricWorx. The publication of Steve’s
design goes back as far as May 2001.

Note how eerie the parallel evolution is between your own designs and the one
by Steve Barile. There are only a few minor differences.
I’ve purcased the freight train of Steve’s design as a custom set:

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
here. Crazy how we
builders sometimes think alike. :-) Great minds or sheer coincidence? You
decide! :-)
Thanks for the link to Bricworx. I’ll have to check that site out some more.
All the best,
Dave

| James clearly copied me! ;) Actually I have no idea who did what first, back in the day when the initial cache of basic designs where emerging we used to vamp off each other all the time.
