Notes:

This was a special run done for the 2018 NASG Convention. Car #1948 states "Pure Cane Sugar" behind the ladder, and #2018 states "Gentian Root Extract". What sets this car apart from all of the other S Scale America tank cars is that it has a platform around the dome. Note that the Bristol S Gauge Railroaders' web site shows an early pre-production model (different road number and no platform, and the wrong production-total is shown - the page was probably never updated later on).

Model Railroader, Feb 1995

Notes:

In Model Railroader's magazine, Jeff Wilson's product review stated that the kit went together well, the wheels are in gauge and roll well, that the model matches the prototype's dimensions, and it weighs the correct NMRA-specified weight. This was the original kit version sold by the original S Scale America company.
