I keep a look out for old tank cars too although not to restore too much. Found an old gray one which was really dirty but had decent decals so spent time cleaning it. Like to keep them original. Also picked up a Standard gauge tank car for parts but ended up fixing it up to run. Couldn't get myself to scrap a car that really wasn't in bad shape for parts. Part of the fun. The ugliest are the big, high early Standard gauge tank cars.
