G'day folks, as the subject lines declares, I'm looking for the maker of N Gauge demountable tank containers. I came across them a few years ago and have since lost the BookMark.
To understand what I mean by 'demountable tank containers' see:
http://mike.da2c.org/igg/rail/11-kitba/demt.htm
The reason that I want to find them is that I want to if they are adaptable to the following tank containers that travelled the rails of the state of Victoria in Australia in the 1960's and 70's

I founded them!! at:
http://www.shapeways.com/product/V9RPNYWTT/semibulk-5-octel
They are described as:
Five copies of a 2mm Scale model of a Bromine tank owned by Associated Octel that was mounted on a Conflat wagon and worked to and from Hayle in Cornwall and Amwlch in Wales during the 1970s.
I found them by using a Google SITE search:

conflat site:shapeways.com

as I remembered them being on Shapeways and it was highly likely that they would be carried on a conflat.
Still got to sort out sizes, adaptability etc.
Cheers, Andrew G.

That's the power of the forum Andrew; you have a difficult question and you get an answer within a day  :confused1:

Anyway, here's one I prepared earlier; a track plan for Amlwch (not that you wanted one!)

By the way, is Bromine/Bromide what I should slip into the drinks of any prospective boyfriends for my teenage daughter??
But gosh darn, one of our Auzzie science experts has just put paid to that idea:
