I am trying to set up a small diesel fueling and sanding station to service two tracks. I cannot find anything good. Everything that pops up is in HO.

DJ I bet you could scratch build a suitable facility using the components available from http://www.plastruct.com/
I've seen several modelers build some amazing configuration typical of oil or fuel handling facilities using this stuff. They have a hugh catalog of components. Check it out.
Good Luck!

Joe Fauty of Model Structures made a diesel fueling structure for me that I like. About $60. I will try to pull up a photo. Okay, it is the upright light tan tower with the Southern Railway herald, standing to the right of the coaling tower Complete with hose and nozzle. He also makes sand towers and some pretty elaborate fueling and storage structures.

Do you do custom builds?

This is a pain in the butt that you cannot find any good o Gauge stuff for your layout. I don't have time to scratch build everything. This is making me want to go to HO scale!

DJ - yes I can build custom designs. Almost all my product started out as a custom design for a customer.

Forgot to mention -
Atlas O recetly purchased Walthers O scale Cornerstone series kits and builtups. It is hoped Atlas O will expand the breath of kits available.

Dj,
If you would like one custom built, send me an e-mail with the dimmensions of the area you have. I will make a sketch and send a price. Let me know how many sand towers and how many tracks. I have made many of these. Send to Graz4tanks@aol.com

Alan,
Do you have any pics of ones you have done before?
Dj,
I do not think I have any pictures on my computer to send you. If you can look at pictures of the layout of Tony Lash, you will see the diesle service facility that I constructed for him.
