6465 Sunoco 2-Dome Tank Car

A snappy little tank car with nice metal trucks and couplers at both ends. The silver paint has rubbed off only on the very highest points of the dome cover details, almost not worth mentioning. The number is stamped underneath the tank car instead of on the tank itself. Maybe it is that way on other tank cars too and I just haven't noticed. Separate handrails run the length of the tank on both sides.
