Does anyone have any images for what a prototypical oil industry siding would be? The area that im modelling takes a lot of tank cars (molton sulphur and oil products from what i can tell) in via an Esso facility. I can see the tank cars all neatly stacked in the local area in the yards, but the actual unloading facility is not accessible to google  streetview. And on the satellite view its very hard to see what there is in that location.

So im looking for suggestions of what to include scenery wise? Can anyone help?

Thanks!

As there seems to be little interest in this column this will probably be the last week I will bother.

It seems strange to me that a lot of so called Model Railroaders have little or no interest in the Prototype.

Maybe it is just that people can't be bothered posting anything they just want to read what others have done?

Anyway enough griping, I will try one more time!

Time again for a prototype photograph.

When you post please try and include the following:-

My layout may not have the coolest scenery - actually no no scenery than painted plywood)
My layout may not be complete. 
My layout may have lots of temporarily solutions.

But I have had the pleasure to host many op sessions, the last one a couple of weeks ago.
For me it is nothing like when the layout come alive when friends head down in the basement and operate on my P&SF layout.
I have just updated my P&SF blog with pictures from that night and some other stuff.

**BEFORE I BEGIN** I would like the moderators to maybe consider adding another category so people can ask questions about prototype operation.  Just a thought.  OK, now onto my actual post.
