Looking for HO tank cars 80's era liquid carbonic cars

Also does anyone make the tank cars that carry hydrocyanic acid ? They have an orange stripe running the length of the car

Thanks

Atlas made the tankcar with the orange stripe along the side. I have one. Far as the liquid carbonic tankcar, I believe Broadway Ltd currently produces those.

Wasn't the orange, horizontal stripe a Canadian thing for pressurized tank cars only? Are there acids shipped under pressure? Just wondering.

HCN tank cars are white with a red stripe along the "side" of the car at the middle of the tank and red bands around the tank near each end.

The one I saw also had a big warning placard on the side!!!

I tried making one, modifying a 62 ft. propane car.  It was going well until I screwed up the white paint.  Then the divorce happened and I never got back to it.  Somewhere I have a readable close up of that placard.

Found them.  If anybody has modeled these cars I would love to see them.
