Model Railroading > Halliburton Cement Slurry Car

Hello,
I was wondering if there's an HO Gauge model of this distinctive car. It has two large drum-like storage compartments over a flat bed.

The contents are unloaded via the bottom of the storage compartments. The car is painted red/gray....

Con-Sys has a resin kit but I'm not a professional modeler so it's beyond my expertise.

If it's a one-off or otherwise rare in the real world, how commercially viable would it be as a mass-produced model?

I seem to remember this subject coming up a couple of years ago.Think it was done in brass,but dont quote me on that.
Regards,dK

Is this the car?  If so, I would think the SDS car is not close enough for your wants.

But as someone who is affiliated with them, I can say do not let that stop you from purchasing one of our sets.  As Australian freight cars generally can be more complicated than North American cars, we've had a compliment from someone who manufactures high quality North American product and said our models were better than anything produced in North America.  We are pushing the Chinese to limits not necessarily required for North American prototypes.

That's the car I'm talking about......Now if only it was available as an easy to put together HO Scale kit........

Did you check Shapeways?

I did a quick check on Shapeways but the only ones are in N Scale and unpainted.
