Oil Refinery

[tccarson]

This is an N scale version using mostly balsa, miscellaneous dowels, and two tuna cans. All scales, (N, HO, OO, O) can be constructed using basic materials and common hardware store materials. To make life easier for the N scale version I used Plastruct railings and stairs. There are thirty heat exchanger tubes in the Heat Exchanger structure. Having a drill press that doubles as a lathe helped out. It's been a long time in the making. Now maybe I can get outside for some sunshine for a while before starting on the next project.

tccarson,

Looks great Sir, and your going out for "sunshine"? What's that?

I'd have never known that would be scratchbuilt, well done!

That is some nice work. Well done. You would never know it it N scale from the picture and being that it is scratch built, it would be a nice addition to any layout.

That's awesome, great job.
When can we expect mass production and them available to buy! [emoji6]

I am also working on a refinery on my layout. I built this Coker tower from styrene plastic.

Excellent job on that refinery. I can see many hours went into it.
