    Guys,
    i am scratchbuilding a refueling platform.

    On the top is the lube oil tank, on the bottom the fuel pump (the main diesel tank is just outside the module on the bottom).
    I was wondering how to scratchbuild the hose and pipe connecting the diesel fuel tank car to fill the main tank.
    Does anyone have pictures, drawings, or just explain what to put where...
    Thank you...

    Ciao,

    Here is a picture of one unloading devise. One of many, I would think because in my younger days I have used elbows that were 90 degrees . This pictured style would be easier to use, I think.

    Have fun,
    Carl

    If you are looking for pictures of the fueling station that may be difficult. To get to the laundromat I use an overpass over the beginning of the yard here in Appleton. That part is well secured in the middle of the yard and well guarded.
