I saw somewhere (CTT?) a guy used oil filters for tanks. You may even find one that has an oil company logo on it already.
A PVC pipe coupling could also work. Just glue a styrene roof to it and paint it up.

If kev was here he built a couple one for himself and one for someone else I think that looked real nice. Contact me if you want his email address I will first ask him

I've seen them for $20 at some shows, but they are few and far between.

right now i think id rather spend that on something else...maybe ill just get a coffee can..some grey paint and a few sonoco pictures printed out haha maybe a straw or two
Unless you can find one at a train meet that someone is parting with, $40 sounds about right. I always thought the storage tanks were priced a little high. There are some enterprising folks out there that offer custom made tanks, but they're even more pricey than the LIONEL offerings.
does anyone have the ones lionel made in like the early 2000s like abs plastic looking tanks....just wondering to see what they look like on a layout....to see if i could justify paying around $40 on ebay for one...
