Finished another set of repaints on my workbench -- LAPX Liquified Gas Tankcars -- that's correct -- tankcars.

Linde (LAPX) is the industrial gas division of Union Carbide Company. They used exclusively designed 40' box cars with an inner tank to transport a variety of their liquefied or cryogenic gases across the country. The inner tank was permanently installed and its design allowed the company to control the temperature of the gases for up to 30 days.

I love these cars and have wanted a set. I still need to create multiple numbers and perhaps work a little weathering (as with my other repaints) but I first needed to get my sets painted up.

So...here they are...

What he said.

I had a single car like that in HO about 20 years ago.

Hello Railroad Librarian,

As an employee of Linde in The Netherlands, I was wandering if you have made these models available for download ?

Thank you in advance.

Mike,

You know what, I don't think I ever finalized those cars. I get distracted far too easily. Thank you for reminding me about them. Let me see what I can do to get'm finished up. Mind you, they're not of the quality that other true artists here produce but I'm happy to share.

Hello Kevin,

Bowser is going to produce an HO scale tankcar in the early 1950's livery (see pre-production drawing of Bowser Mfg. below). When doing an internet photo search about Linde tankcars I came along pictures of your models here on Elvas Tower. They look already amazing to me. Looking forward to a future release of your models.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards, Mike

Thank you for the compliment. Since working on those previously, I've been trying to learn new techniques so I might be able to improve them a tad and share.

Stay tuned.
