I completed the water towers I started during our NY area January snow storm.  Two are going to club layout and these two will be listed on the Forums 4 sale.

Alan Where is your table at York?

Hey Guys. Well nothing to show you all this week. My package is sitting at the post office. It was a     Fed Ex delivery that was given to the post office for delivery to my house.  Which I checked yesterday after the post office was closed around 1:15pm. So all I can say is that its a BUMMER.

Well I have some of the Chalks and I stoped at Hobby Lobby on Friday after the appointment I had at the Diabetic DR and picked up some weathering oil paint. Some containers, and some paint trays. The rest of the stuff I had on hand. So now I wait till the mail comes tomorrow around 12:00-2:30pm. for the delivery of my Masking Tapes & the Liquid Paint mask 16oz.

I am working on a refinery project for a customer in New Zealand. So far the front end is assembled. The crude starts at a two stage desalting tank then goes to a kettle type furnace that is common in Asia (as is the color of the stack). From there the crude goes to the first Distillation tower called CD-1. Product in the form of naphtha exits CD-1 goes through a series of condensers, filter, reflux drums then to product storage. Side streams from CD-1 light and heavy kerosene go to two 'side strippers' (the smaller towers) through some heat exchangers where they are processed and sent on downstream for further processing. Attached to the bottom of the side strippers are reboilers (collect 'bottoms' reheat and send back into the tower).

Once everything is painted you will get a better idea of what is going on based on color of the various piping:

 - crude , prodcut etc (TB-8) will be aluminum

 - gas piping (TB-4) will be green (sometimes collected and processed for sale, sometimes sent to flare tower for burn off) 

 - water / steam  (TB-6) will be blue

Enjoy

Nice stuff once again this week!  Here are a few photos of a Lionel Maine Central PS-5 scale gondola that I just finished weathering...

Great work folks!     

Alan which hall will you be at York?    

Randy,

You will find these items at the Korber booth in Orange Hall.

Joey A,

Great scene.

Joe Fauty,

You are doing a very nice job on the refinery units. The platforms look great.

Alan Graziano

you guys continue to Inspire me ...

Great work..

Alan,

Thanks!

Both of you must have stock in Plastruct. Needless to say, I love all the petrochemical projects.

A. G. How in the world do you make those stairways wrap around the tanks so evenly? I wouldn't have an idea where to start. Look Great!!

Jay,

I put the steps on the flat shell plate before I join it together to make a cylinder.

Alan Graziano

Never would have guessed that.

Thanks Mr. G.
