Dag,I told them not to drink any 'til they get the tanker all built up and rollin'!

Or it will go really far if there is an incline; the wheels spin free and it weighted :D :D :D Actually I need to complete the whole bottom. I just stuck that HO passenger truck on for the photo.

That's a really interesting looking car, Jon...
What is it used for?
If that's an HO passenger truck, then this looks like it might be O scale?
On30? (resistance is futile, right? :D )

Charlie, I started out just playin' around, and I ended up with a large HOn3, or a small HO, depending how you look at it. In HO, it's 9 ft. wide, 22 ft. long. I didn't measure the height, but it's almost as tall as an HO boxcar (I didn't mean for the cap tp be so tall, I thought I would remove more material to get it to fit, and I didn't plan on an above flush lid). Not well planned, but a good learning exp.

Rich, I think you get a half a shot in 1:1 or 1500 gallons in HO :D :D :D

Now can you guess what materials are used where?

plastic - brass - aluminium - stainless - wood (duh) ;)
