I like Lionel's Chemical tank cars, and have 15 of them.
These two chrome ones are two of my favs. Do you run any chrome?

How about the private varnish? This K-Line streamlined PRR observation car is probably the shiniest thing in my collection.

Chrome Lionel 265E and 2613/4/5 pullmans. Found the cars first and the loco a few weeks later surprisingly. Both amature chrome jobs, but I love it!

Oh boy (claps and rubs hands together) This took a couple of hours to assemble...
Do I run chrome cars? Oh boy, let me count the ways... 
Actually, I haven't run these yet, my operating facility (aka the 'Test Track') is in a bit of a logjam at the moment. But the photos below are part of a plan to run a photo freight comprised entirely of chrome-plated cars (mostly tankers). Here's a selection of photos I've posted here with links to the original post containing them since I wrote about the circumstances surrounding each acquisition...on the off chance that it might make for engrossing reading 
These photos are linked from their various threads where they appeared on the Forum, so they're ar their max size. If quoting this post in a reply, pleeeeeeze edit out the photos you aren't referencing!
And now, prepare for the Chrome-verload

Part two. As above, if quoting this post in a reply, please edit out the photos you're not referencing -- the post is long enough as it is
BACL (Buy Anything Cool Lately?) page 291, Sept 2022
30-73221 Pennsylvania tanker
30-73222 Alaska tanker
30-73239 Killian's Irish Red tanker
30-73544 Chateau Martin Wines tanker
30-73295 Mohawk Petroleum triple dome
30-74219 MTH 25th Anniversary boxcar
30-4226-1T Shell tanker
30-73293 Tidewater triple dome
30-73294 Shamrock triple dome
30-73309 Alaska triple dome
Besides the above, I have the Premier version of the MTH 25th Anniversary boxcar (20-93248), a K-Line TTOS Southern division anniversary boxcar (K-6491), the four MTH Rugged Rails chrome tankers from the 2012 catalog (33-7306, 7307, 7308, 7309) and the Coors Light train with two add-on reefers and the rare round-tailed end car. As far as chrome tankers go, I believe I have 43 (this may or may not include the boxcars I intend to divide the train into railroad, petroleum and beverage roadnames), and only managed one duplicate so far owing to the nature of auction lots.
I am aware of a Santa Fe, Coors Light, Budweiser, Pittsburgh Steelers, NASA and Harley-Davidson versions that I don't have, but I haven't really pursued them. As it is, this train is probably too long for my around-the-walls loop, and carrying the whole thing to say, the NJ Hirailers would be a bit of a challenge even with my driving them over myself
