I have a question about "Spherical tanks" for member Paul Goodness???

Justin,

 

That was Alan (leavingtracks). If you check the video preview for OGR Run 259 on the forum main page, you'll see that Alan has a "how-to" article in this OGR issue about the project with, I'm sure, all the details.

 

Jim

Jim-Exactly!! You knew it right away! Thats it! I knew i had seen one & boy did i spend hours looking for it! Thank you so much & i cant wait to get #259 in my hands!!!!!!!

You're welcome, Justin.

 

Lately, it's not often that the memory comes through for me. Now, if it had been three or four issues ago in the past instead, it probably would have been a different story!

 

Jim

I was at work yesterday at my firehouse and w/24 hrs to kill, i usually have time to scourer the whole forum, twice! And i knew i had seen that pic. I had told my wife about and then went to show her and I could not remember where i saw it. Its such an awesomely simple idea. So not realizing i had watched the preview i commenced to digging thru tons of threads, whew, im glad thats over. You have helped & inspired me more than you will ever know. Thanks again Jim!!!

Justin, Thank you for remembering that I made a post on using 6 inch Holiday tree ornaments from WalMart to make your own inexpensive storage tanks. Sometimes I feel my ideas are lost after posting but your recalling this one gives me a good fuzzy feeling that I helped a fellow forum member. I was thrilled that Alan has also writen about the idea in run 259 and I am looking forward to seeing his work. I have also used clothing "snaps" from JoAnn Fabrics to make valve shut off wheels.

 

Here is hopeing WalMart has these large 6 inch ornaments on sale again this season. With Alan's great article plus his photographs, I'm sure many readers will give it a try. It is a fairly easy project and produces impressive results. Great bang for the buck.

 

Paul Goodness

Paul, do you have any pic's to share of your creations? I love these low cost, home grown projects! I my self have managed to stockpile alot of every day items & containers in hope to use them as reborn again O scale items! PS- my wife thinks im plum loco!!!

Paul,

 

Sorry for not remembering your project also when I referred to Alan's. Now that you mention it, I do recall yours too. Things exit the back door of my memory all too swiftly.
