Not a regular style tank car by any means, Helium cars first came about in the late 1920s and later versions lasted through the 1990s. Here is my recently finished restoration and 3-rail conversion of a 2-rail kit car that I purchased at a train show. After a small repair for a missing roof panel, conversion to 3-rail, adding some missing details the original builder never installed, a repaint and re-decal, it finally came together and turned out great.
