Kit 20.2 includes a special decal set to model five cars bult in August 1940 were used by Chateau Martin Wines.

Both tank car kits follow the later prototypes with 21-ft, 7-inch truck centers.

These kits consist of the following parts:

  • One-piece resin body
  • Floor and detail parts
  • Various Tichy parts
  • Various pieces of wire and stirrups
