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).
