Of the seven cars built, five were 14,400 gallon tanks taken from the AB/AD 2-8-8-2's and two were 13,000 gallon tanks taken from the AE 2-10-10-2's. The first five were rebuilt into aux tanks after WWII and the last two were rebuilt in the early 1950's... The remaining center section and two small curved end sections were then fixtured, and joined together with solder. A new, extended center colum, lid and platform was fabricated and joined to the smaller base ring to complete the assembly... Ajax brake box, brake chain and brake step were added, along with coupler cut levers, back up light and tank stays, completing the fabrication, and making the model ready for paint/lettering.
