Prototype Info:

The phrase "form follows function" is central in the design and manufacture of prototype freight cars. Tank cars, which came into being as early as 1865 to transport crude oil, now have numerous configurations and sizes based on the commodity they are intended to carry. The original wooden tanks were rapidly replaced by riveted, then welded, steel or aluminum (although wooden cars were still being produced for the vinegar trade up through the late 1960s!), and incorporated many features to enable this general type of car to carry over 100 different types of liquids, gases, slurries, suspensions, etc.
