Oversized tank cars

I remember seeing these on the KCS in the 80's/90's and have always liked them. I know prototype is pre 1997, but dang, I like 'em. I'm thinking about looking into seeing what a friend that's experienced with Shapeways might be able to do.

Think it's a viable model? I think one or two would be cool to have. Thoughts?

Bobby Pitts has done a number of oversize tank cars in HO.  At the 2019 BAPM a gentleman  called the Flying Squirrel had also built one.  He had used industrial copper pipping for the tank and Gold Medal details. He had me hold it after wiping my hands. (Phrasing) It was heavy for a n scale car

Harry Wong? was there so It will probably show up in RMC.

I believe Bobby's username is @tankcar. If we say it three times he might appear.

Bobby actually has a photo build thread on the RW.  I know it's HO but correlation and application to N scale. https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=44286.msg570676#msg570676
