Show me your Tank Wagons

Post by Jonnyb » Wed Mar 02, 2011 2:32 pm

Think Sir Haydn may have started something, I need some inspiration for converting one of my flat wagons into a tanker.

If its not from a kit I would appreciate to know what the tanker is made of.
Thanks

Sorry about the quality my camera can't do close up well.

This one is a wooden tank with some coffee stirers and balsa supports and a brass nozzle stuck into one end.
