Oil Refinery

Here's what I am doing

The Lionel oily tank 637966 the pumping station 6 12912 is Lionel. The oil derrick 30 90435 is MTH  then I have several Lionel Oil derricks 682016 scattered around

Take a look at my web site - http://shop.modelstructuresinc...ory.sc?categoryId=30
for ideas.

If you have been a forum member for a while you should also be familiar with Alan Graziano's work.

My small "tank farm" and tank car load out. Also pumping unit and gas well with gas production unit (lowers well pressure to pipeline pressures and removes oil and water from the gas) and oil field tank battery.  Large white tank is a 10 inch cap for plastic pipe, other two tanks are Lionel tanks.  A oil refinery would go between the gray tanks (crude oil) and the white tanks (gasoline and diesel oil).

I went with Model Structures. I should be receiving some tanks and a pump house sometime in October. 

Had you waited about 3 months to start this thread, I'd have had some pics to post.

How much work do you want to do? If you want a challenging project, there's always the Plastruct Petro-chem Refinery. It's good for a couple of months of effort or more, but it's worth it in the end.

thank you very much for the plug. Oil terminals and refineries that are one of a kind are my favorite thing to construct.
