You are right, though, that freight reefers rarely had round roofs.<br /><br />On the Tangent car, a beautiful model, it certainly could have carried wine, but as an uninsulated car, it would be even harder on the wine that shipping in an insulated car. I would say it is an unlikely car for wine service.<br />Tony ThompsonTony Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11593061828601275378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218524178230712938.post-86663988331811749272014-07-31T07:16:03.031-07:002014-07-31T07:16:03.031-07:00Hello Tony,

The prototype photo you have in another post looks like a typical reefer, none of which have round roofs, afaik... <br />Also, Tangent Scale Models has just announced a very detailed 3-dome 6000-gal tank car, In their listing of uses, all kinds of chemical and other industrial ladings are mentioned, but not wine. Would this be a correct type of car for wine service? <br />Gerhard Klose <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218524178230712938.post-2447720936610028442012-02-26T09:42:53.658-08:002012-02-26T09:42:53.658-08:00George, I contacted the X2011 co-webmaster and her...George, I contacted the X2011 co-webmaster and here is his reply:<br /><br />>>It's safe.
