K
been working on the railroad
and I like to post some photos looks like I ran in to a bit of a problem
the tank with this set is an N gauge
what's the deal you get something for $30 and one of the parts is the wrong gauge ouch
Ken
well here is an VERTICAL OIL TANK
looks like it will hold less mass!
but I don't know for sure

Almost all oils have a lower density than water. This is why oil slicks form on the surface of water.

hello tweet
starting to look better
I have another on the way tell you what
next one I see I'll snag it for you, its yours. I don't need any more
hmm.... starting to come around
looks like it has a string to a gauge on the side maby when the gauge is up the tank is empty and when its down its full, kind of cool
i'll have to get a shot of the float
oh ya csmith9474 I see what you mean next photo will show a nice shine

but you know me I dont give up that easy
hope you enjoy my post

I thought you were looking for another one for some reason. It looks like you already scored a good deal, though.
Here is a really nice brass sanding tower. It looks like it is just up your alley.

thanks jeffrey
I appreciate it,
you may just be correct in that there are tons of home made sanders
I was hoping to see a prototype

Hard to be sure from the photos, but because of the slim vertical tank the first one looks like it could be a sanding column. The second one is just any riveted storage tank. Could as easily be water as oil or diesel. Whatever you wanted to use it for.
