Storage Tanks On Model Railroad

April 28, 2006

I came across an interesting new Model Railroading blog by a guy named Dayrl where he explains how he incorporated storage tanks on his model railroad layout.
Here is a snippet. For more details visit his model railroading blog at http://www.stpaulrochelle.org/blog/

“Although the layout is 95% complete. I still have a number of projects I am
working on. Most current is the BP gasoline storage facility. Due to lack of
space on the layout, I did not have enough room to model the facility all in one
place. . I have room for loading facilities by the siding track, but not room
for the storage tanks. There is room for the tanks in a corner of the layout
close to the siding. So, I stole an idea from the prototype in Rochelle. There
is a small pipeline bridge over the BNSF tracks that carries fuel to a Rochelle
Municipal Utilities power station. I am using that concept to carry fuel from
the storage tanks to the loading facilities. “
