Oil derrick/pump/scene

I believe in milking Lionel accessories for all they are worth:

Chris:

I have both the Walthers and the Lionel pumps and like both. The Walthers is out there but hard to come by since Walthers does not make it anymore. Atlas O now owns the O scale molds. Hopefully they will start making it.

With respect to tanks and tank farms you can purchase pre-assembled floating top tanks from both Lionel and MTH. In addition both Alan Graziano and I assemble custom designs. Alan's designs are numerous and posted all over this forum. Some of my work is shown below.

Our scene is not complete yet on the layout restoration project that I am working on. We are adding a fence like Pete's scene, came up with some worker s in hardhats and gonna use a flatbed truck delivering a spare pump motor that came from a Lionel flat car.

I'll grab a photo and add it Saturday. I didn't want to use tanks because it would cause a vision block to the layout. it's on the 3rd level in the lower right of the photo attached. You can see the rectangle where it sits.

I like the bubble light.

Looks good Carl!

hey MODEL STRUCTURES

What color red did you paint these tanks?

Great scenes guys!

Joe, I like the station for the unloading of the tank cars with the roof.

Thanks Chris

The tanks are gray ABS so I first sprayed a white primer (rustoleum plastic primer) then sprayed red oxide primer. 

Chris,

here's a photo of our #455 Oil Derrick scene. This is the MTH repro 30-9027. Still more to do, but it's almost there.

Carl,

That's a good looking Derrick! Couple tanks and you will be all set!

Picked up a Walthers oil pump on the bay over the weekend, too.

Here's a video of the bubbles

Plastruct make's a a variety of tanks/kits, and there are other, expensive, pump and derrick kits out there.

I don't have the mag handy, but they were advertised in Narrow Gauge & Short Line Gazette, and made by the guy in Pa . who does kits for the narrow gauge conventions. There is one of his kits for an oil depot on the Rio Grande Southern on the Bay right now. Search that. ...

Try either "Rags to Riches" or just"Stony Creek" brands for one...

The  Plastruct single and twin vertical tanks or the floating roof tank would work well with the oil derrick. I designed these kits for Plastruct for various tank applications.

I've seen those...

Does anyone have a built up one? Or should I buy it and take pictures?

Ahhh, roger that!

Well, our forum friend from Brazil just posted a layout update with a new donkey pump and a tank. The floating lid tank would be appropriate. I am still going to keep it simple for the museum display right now. Our dedication and opening day are coming up too fast.
