This space was left intentionally to allow for my 2 other Sinclair tank cars to be posted here so info on these cars would be together. Also because one is rarer then 38000 and is a all black model for Varney's 8,000 gallon tank car. The poor quality of this site doesn't allow editing to replace incorrect with correct text or better photos. This mistake will remain forever with this blog. Here you have the ability to make a quality site for storing old dated train information and you choose to make a blog out of it. It is ashamed that you don't know how to use what you have. Varney Sinclair tank cars that I know of are . Sinclair, silver with black lettering SDRX 38001 is the most common of the cars. Sinclair, silver with black lettering SDRX 38000 is very much harder to find ( in 50 years of collecting I have but one, while with 38001 I have seen hundreds. I do know that more were made.) Last is Sinclair, black with white lettering SORX 8847 (again I only have one). This I found a month ago at a flea market. If it wasn't for a friend who noticed and directed me to it I wouldn't have it. I have searched for 8847 for over 30 years and just couldn't locate one.
