Here's the beginning of my Fire tanker for my layout.

Started as a boley international 4 door water tanker removed the screw behind the front bumper in order to remove the cab.

Then studied the frame and tank to try and visualize what my mind was seeing.

Went on the web looking at Midwest Fire tankers gained a lot of ideas going.

Have since changed layout directions this will become a West Virginia region tanker.

Off to the train stash and there it was right on top of the second tub i opened a wiking Pete tractor with sleeper.

I had enough working on electrical and switched gears to my big trestle. A few commercially built bents, some of my own, basswood, balsa wood, glue, imagination a few days and the scene is coming to life.
