Newby Chemicals is a facing siding that is shared by a second facing siding to a team track open freight platform.  Also there is a grain terminal facing with two tracks (5 car capacity).  There is also a trailing siding which goes into a lumber yard.  Newby Chemicals provides loading and unloading for a variety of products.  Four tanks are modelled in the facility though there are pipes leading off the layout.  Two of the tanks are for Chlorine (Cl) and two for Sulphur (S).

As you can see the tank farm has a low profile.  This was done for a variety of reasons.  First, I wanted it easy for the operators to read the car numbers on the tank cars and boxcars on the team track siding.  Also you can uncouple without having to reach over a tall tank structure.  The Safeway Foods Centre behind the scene is a raised flat for depth the track you see feeding under the Walther's structures is for scenic effect and does not connect to the layout.  The tunnel ends at the wall and there is a mirror to provide a continuation view.

Here are some of the details of this area and you can see where the tracks lead from the the grey (CN Elspeth) tower in the classification yard, just past the future lumber yard and the grain terminal.  All leads to the tank farm and team track.  The berms were made with wood quarter rounds and painted with Liquatex ceramic stucco mixed with craft paint. 

To build the platform, I used two freight platforms from Walther's REA freight house kits.  Later I will go in with some ballast to finish the transition.  You noticed I numbered the tanks and provided the Chemical Letters for the tanks to help operators identify where they are to drop their cars.  These were done from a 20 year old dry transfer set that was commonly used by drafters.

A close-up of the tank farm shows the loading/unloading arrangement and the piping plan.  The tanks are from Tichy.  The hoses connected to the stanchions are from Diamond Scale and they represent car loaders.  The nossles are used to fill from the domes of the cars.  You can see the Chlorine loader in the shot below.  The Yellow Valves are from Plastruct.  The hoses on the deck are made from solder: spray painted black.   I like working with Solder as it can be bent into natural hose positions. These are car unloader hoses and are attached benieth the tank cars.  The Walther's piping kit was used to feed the tanks.  Each Tank has one load and one unload pipe which feeds underground at the berm and comes up inside the tank.  The middle unloader pipes feed off layout to other tanks and trucks off layout.

I used styrene for the base and sprinkled some grey ballast to create texture.

All in all this was a fun and easy to do project.  Tank cars are a big part of every transportation system and the stuff they carry usually is used by most industries,  Try adding tank farms, loaders, unloaders as well as storage at all your industries and you will increase your operations a lot.  Gotta love tank cars.  They rule on the LVN.
