Default Oil tanks

I finally finished these oil storage tanks for our Northwestern Pacific layout. They are based closely on Gilbert Gribi's storage tanks featured in the 1997 Narrow Gauge Gazette. Many thanks to his contribution.

Thanks for the comments.

The tanks were a BAR MILLS HO Twin Horizontal Fuel Tanks Kit #2003. Other than that, I used the pictures in the Narrow Gauge Gazette. The hardest part (3 hours) was figuring out how to connect the chain to the spout.
