MTH Rail King O 30-9176 Mobil Operating Storage Tank

I just purchased this for my layout. Since there really isn't many accessories available for Intermodal I am going to go half with tanker cars and half with the intermodal. My question is the accessories that are made to work with this storage tank, one looks like its for direct use with the tank(30-9180) and the other (30-90419) Tank Filling Station looks like its a stand alone accessory. One is cheaper and the other is twice the amount. I get that one one is a operating accessory. Does anyone have any experience with either? Just weighing my options. Thanks!

There are three and the numbers change over time and with the licensee - mobil, columbia, etc - One is just lights and looks exactly like another with a drop down platform and a man who fills tankers. The third is a storage tank that expands to show filling status of the tank.

Well I purchased the tank filler station. I have the operating storage tank. And just bought the the three car railking modern tank car set. So yes I was a little impatient, I should have waited. Lol. But time was of the essence before wife came home from work and kids came home from school. It look really cool.

I will post pictures later. I can't seem to figure out how to do that with my iPhone.

Here it is! The kids really like the operational storage tank. Gave me another excuse to buy some new rolling stock. Need to expand!
