Diesel fueling stations
Posted by KRM on Friday, March 9, 2012 4:01 PM

Is there any other suppliers for O gauge Diesel fueling stations other than what Lionel offers? Like MTH or Plasticville or something?

Tks,

Kev

A quick check came up with the LIONEL #415, and the K-LINE #K-122.  You could use an old tank car to fashion one all your own (ucandooooit).  Or, be like modern railroads, and just park a tanker truck near your terminal for direct loading.

Try Train World in New York or Ready To Roll in Miami FL. They might have something by Scenic Express that will look better than the other store bought items. Another solution is to use an old capacitor from an air conditioner motor and spray paint it to the color you like and add a small rubber hose that you can buy at an auto parts store.

Model Structures [Joe Fauty] makes them along with a bunch of other plastic, wood and styrene stuff and build structures and fronts. My Diesel Fuel Tower cost $60 as I recall--he paints,weathers and decals. modelstructures@q.com

Wow with that thought one of my Atlas scale 33,000 gl tank cars would be awsome between two tracks in a siding area as there about 16 1/2" long the tanks that would look real cool.
