Title: Ooopps
Post by: pdlethbridge on December 08, 2008, 01:48:11 AM
This is what happens to a tank car that is steam cleaned and sealed. The metal is 7/16" thick. Well, at least the car is clean.  Sigh

"Mom, someone imploded a tank car!"

It seems it's a bit more, 'Compact'... That's cool, the video is a classic. Thanks for sharing pdlethbridge.

Amazing photo. Thanks for sharing. It looks like the "modeler" applied heat to add dents and left the heat gun on a little too long....

That was probably done in Germany. Look and listen to the video. I heard German voices. EVA tank cars are used on German railroads. It is an Instructional video. Notice the hose that goes to a vacuum pump. It "might" have happened by accident somewhere which led to this demonstration. This has been posted on You Tube Many, Many times.
