I depends on what era are you interested in?
Athearn makes a car appropriate from present day back to the 1980's

Atlas makes a car used from about the turn of the century (2000) back to the mid 1960's

Prior to the 1960's Various specialized tank cars were used the main requirement being that they were pressurized. Atlas has an appropriate car.

The 33K rail tank cars are easy to find. What I now need are the trucks with the large tank on the back for the home and business delivery of propane. I would think that GHQ, Athearn or KATO would have made them by now.

Make My Model made them in that rapid prototype material. I was lucky enough to snag two of them before they stopped making stuff.

Someone who is talented in casting might be able to cut one of these into pieces and cast the appropriate pieces to replicate this truck.
