Another one for the to-do list

Ken,

Great article.  Just when I thought that my to-do list was full, you present a must-have project for my petroleum industry-heavy layout.

It makes a very unusual model, but you've given us some very available sources for the raw materials to complete the project.  Thanks very much.

Question:  Is it possible that something like this would be found in a 1960-era refinery setting?

Great

Lots of good ideas and techniques in that one, even if I never build the specific project.

Petro Group

For those interested, there is a Yahoo group dedicated to the petroleum industry: http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/Oil_and_Petrol_Refinery_modeling/   

Most guys tend to be lurkers, but if you have a question, you will likely have an answer in the same day.

Great article. looks

Great article. looks like something I'm going to have to try in N scale.  Keep up the great work

flat car loads

Flat cars in general have always been favourite freight cars, but depressed flat cars, especially with multiple truck sets, are even more interesting. This article gives me a perfect load for one of my empty favourites. 

It is now on my to-do list. Thanks for the great article and step by step directions.

Very Cool

Very nicely detailed article and a great looking load! I agree with Joe, lots to take from this even you you never build the exact load.

Drill Adapter?

Ken,

Great article.  I am curious about the device in the picture where you describe using a Dremel tool with a #55 drill.  It looks like some sort of adapter that chucks into the Dremel but holds the #55 drill.  If this is an accurate description, can you tell us what the device is and where to get one.  I have never been able to use drills that small with my Dremel tools, including one of the latest models.

Thanks,

tony
