Well done! VERY well done. I love it!

 

Mike;

That is wonderful. I have thought about three and one pound size steel coffee cans for oil storage tanks. The ribs in the can wall would be somewhat detracting, but perhaps not so bad at a distance. I was in the coffee "club" (the group that took care of coffee and supplies) at a couple places where I worked, so I had a ready source for the cans. I suppose the cans would require paint at intervals, or they would rust all too realistically! I envisioned mounting my tanks on some kind of base, like styrofoam insulation board, so they could be taken in during the cold season and for maintenance.

Best wishes,
David Meashey

 

Very nice Mike . You have modeled a really nice diorama

Beautiful build Mike, very realistic!

 

Very nice, Mike! You have inspired me to think seriously about how our local refineries could be given recognition on my layout.

 

WOW! And those night shots are awesome!

Super job! I love seeing how people repurpose materials to create great models.

 

Thank you all y'all. It was a fun project. Here are a few photos of it in it's location. I put it out last week and this weekend my whole layout gets packed up (except track) for my summer migration north until October. I didn't bother to properly place the facility in the roads or track because of timing.

 

And this is what i call B-E-A-utiful... Nice one Mike... Weldone

 

Thanks all y'all! And now the RR is abandoned until October (insert sad face here).
