I picked up this set of 5 tank cars. They are all on diecast frames marked Lionel 2955. I assume they are custom decorated and was hoping someone might know of a little history. It appears they were made to kind of match some American Flyer tank cars that were available postwar. The markings appear to be decals. Overall, they seem to be in nice shape and should make a nice addition to my collection.
Thanks for any help.

Those are custom paint jobs.
And those are the less expensive tin tank bakelite dome versions 2755/2555/2855/6555, and not the much more expensive 2955. Yes, they use the same frame, don't let that confuse you.
Were these offered commercially by someone or were they home made? The decals look to good and have been applied too well to be just a home made job.
