Two Fox Valley SD70ACe units, thirty Micro Trains tank cars in three paint layouts and a buffer box perhaps from Fox Valley.

I have no connection to PWRS nor this project. I am just getting the word out.

That's pretty cool. Definitely not cheap!

I think it is pretty much the going price these days and getting it all at once saves a lot of running around trying to find all the components and painting and lettering them all up.

If 30 cars are too long for the train one might sell off a few cars to ease the pain.

One plan might be to build the Pipeline facility near Thompson Falls and use it for switching during operations sessions. Thirty cars is a full spot but depending on the markets there can be anywhere from 10 to 30 cars left there. So the train set could be split with 10-20 cars spotted at the plant and the remaining cars on the train headed to Pipeline to pull the empties and spot the loads. This can keep a crew busy for a few hours especially when there is regular, premium and diesel to keep sorted out.

Gonna be a less iconic little train if the tanks start all converting to black...

Mr. MRL - any one seen/photographed the repainted gas cans??

Is that train addiction help line for real?

Yes, I have seen them but no photos yet. They keep their same GATX 101xxx numbers after the repaint. I don't know if this is a fleet overhaul or a rebuild of some of the cars which got layed on their side last year. They do look out of place in the train.
