Ryan-the chowder shounds great. I'll have a bowl,the Chicken SanteFe and a large coke if you please. Thanks for the compliments.Jim-I hope this pic is big enough [IMG]http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u234/foulrift/OilDealer.jpg[/IMG] Here's how- The main building started life as an IHC freight station which I cut apart. The tanks are Walthers.The brick structure was made from leftover DPM wall units,the small shed is an off brand ,tank car Athearn and the piping is aluminum tubing with a brass rod insert. After I had taken the freight house apart I discarded part of it and cut the legs off the loadin platform so it would sit on the ground.The storagetanks are surrounded by a retaining wall with pipes running from the tops of the tanks to the rear wall. The rest of the piping was made from aluminum tubing with brass rod inserts to minimize breakage while bending them. The pipes run from rear of wall and form a bridge to the small pump house.The pump house has hoses on the side which are used to connect to the tank car. The brick building is for loading tank trucks and is connected to one of the large tanks. The tank truck was scratch built.Since this photo was taken I shortened the pipe bridge because of space issues on my layout plan.The drums on the main building are Campbell and other kits. I don't like the look of commercial pallets so I make my own 48"x48" pallets. If you have any more question let me know. NJ Bob
