These are remix parts for the nicely done Manimal Unibody Tank Car with some inspiration from Asylum9ph's remix.

It's hard to find realistic modern G-scale tanker cars. This remix builds on Manimal's original design and includes a longer tank top platform that is sometimes seen on the LPG tank cars that also includes tank mounting guide posts (the tank top hole jig is provided with my acid car remix). Also I made a different style of handrail mount to have a guide pin, which makes them easy to insert without glue. Finally, I modified the truck mounts from the original to accommodate the new style Bachmann metal wheel trucks. These trucks have an upward angle on the coupler mount, which would hit the underside of the original truck mount and keep it from turning smoothly. The remixed trucks are flat on the bottom and work with newer Bachmann metal wheel trucks . Finally, I am including stanchion and truck mount hole jigs for the LPG car (18" x 3" PVC) and a shorter style tank car (16" x 3" PVC). You need to use the angle stanchions for this jig. In most cases you will need to enlarge the jig holes, they are just for starting. The shorter platform shown on the GATX car is the same as in the Acid Car remix. Decals shown in photos were purchased from Circus City Decals.

Other parts not provided here such as the bolsters, air tank, valve assembly, etc. can be dowloaded from Manimal's build.
Updates:
40 cm x 1.5mm carbon fiber rods work perfect for the horizontal pipes.
Added a different style of brake wheel that mounts on the truck rather than on the tank.
Also modified the ladder to a 2 piece design that I thought was easier to print.
Uploaded platform and man-way guide post jig.
I found that the 3D printed pivot pin was a weak spot, and could shear off with longer trains. I retrofitted the truck mount piece to accept a 1/4" x 5/8" threaded spacer (accepts #6-32 machine screw) to make this much stronger. I recommend avoiding the 3-D printed pivot point from my earlier build. Also some builds/remixes have mounted couplers to the truck mount body directly, which is a good option also.
