This kit
consists of a casting set and instructions for the assembly of an HO
scale model of a Canadian National Railways tank car in the 990800
series, and Imperial Oil Co. tank car in the 3150 series, and of
similar cars also built by Canadian Car and Foundry Co. for other
customers. The kits is
based on 1926 drawings from the Canadian Car and Foundry Co. and on
field measurements and photographs of CN 990887, which has been
preserved at the Kneehill Historical Society Museum at Three Hills,
AB. Cars of similar
design were also manufactured for Frontenac Oil Refineries Ltd,
later McColl-Frontenac Oil Co. (FOLX and MFLX reporting marks), for
Champlain Oil Products Co. (COBX), and for Commercial Alcohols
Limited of Montreal (CMAX), among other customers.
The main differences form the cars represented by this kit
were in a slightly different design of underframe, and in the bottom
section of the tank being in 3 sections rather than one.
