Pros:
Cons:

Excellent kit to faciliate the loading of tank cars. Many of the parts are small, so a minimum of average kit modeling skills are required.

Pros: Nicely done
Cons: Mold getting old? Short length

I have to agree with Rex, being that these are really the only good looking oil loading platforms on the market...

However, as with my Walthers overhead crane, the halves of their mold look a little out of calibration... Some of my tubes look like two half tubes poorly cemented togeather, not a nice round tube.

I only wish they were longer. They much better suited for short cars. My 23,000 gal tanks are too long! I built two kits and attached them per Walthers directions, and they became much better suited for shorter cars.
