Hey you can have real fuel, oil, POL, etc. being moved by any one, but when it is leftover, that is waste, the the EPAs move in and you’re in trouble, but going back to the issue, really not many people know how and storage POL plant works or a waste disposal facility operates, as long as you have the tanks ( cut down plastic drain pipes or bent polystyrene) and wire (pipes) of the proper size an colour connecting the pumps, bins, tanks, manyfolds, etc. etc. you are done you could add those telephone LED’s used in cell phones, bicycle led blinkers, glued to fiber optics and voila, you have warning lights. remember to put also a tower for communications with some antennas, blinkers, guy wires, a bunch of people working to clean up some spot so the EPA´s satellite will not spot them, a HAZ MAT vehicle and stuff, lot of empty drums, maybe, open, punctured, oxidized, dirty will look neat. I don’t really like those *** and span, german or european layout they are too perfect. I prefer a very messy dirty, soothed spot that is more realistic an natural. Enjoy your modelling. <br /> <br />
