<p>Here are two of mine...</p><p> This one is a close up featuring the truck rack.</p><p> <a href="http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/8647/tankfarmyv4.jpg">http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/8647/tankfarmyv4.jpg</a></p><p> And this one is the overview.</p><p> <a href="http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/8520/fuelfarm2hw5.jpg">http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/8520/fuelfarm2hw5.jpg</a></p><p>It may or may not be the final location on that side of the benchwork. I have one open corner that will fit this industry. It is about a foot wide by roughly... 4 feet long.</p><p>The big tank is one of the Walthers rerun tall oil tank, the middle tanks is the Walthers Interstate Oil, the truck is a possible Ulrich, the two small domes on the far right is something you wont believe...</p><p>Walmart Optical Zoom Domes for those who want very big print while reading a book. And a retaining wall of sorts is cut down and ground out of leftover Walthers Foundation Modulars. It is supposed to be a pair of buried Pressure gas tanks like propane and such. But not finished with detailing, painting etc. (And woodland scenics ballasting, scenery, trees and signs etc etc etc.)</p><p>The whole thing is still a work in progress. Apologies in advance for mistakes, omissions etc. It started off as a simple oil/gasoline dealer for the town and grew into a Industry-supporting frankenstien.</p><p>I finished the Frankenstien, basically I discarded the retaining wall and added some valves, pipes etc for each of the buried tanks. I put just enough pipes down to make sense.. sorta.</p><p>I have feeling this is one industry that might never be finished as more tanks take up residence with associated piping. If it gets too big, I might have to set it on the harbor for ships. lol.</p>
