Calling Tankcar Experts

     I want to try and paint a tankcar I have seen online.  From the little bit of research I did, it says the car is a 27,200 Gal capacity.  I do not believe anyone makes a 27,200 Gal car.  Is a Atlas 25,500 close enough?  Any and all information will be much appreciated.

The 25,500 is pretty close, I think the major differences would be up to on the valve structure, and the type of trucks it rides on.
