Good Morning Everyone,

I will start off with a tank car loading rack I just constructed. Let's see what you have been working on.

Alan, I second the remarks above. Just amazing how quickly you can make your projects.

Do you have "go to sizes" you regularly use for pipes, valves and hatches on your tank projects?

This grain elevator is ready for paint.

This one is mine that I am refurbishing - it actually has PVC piping for the silos - indicates how old it is!

Thank you all.

Tom,

I use a lot of 1/8 and 3/116 inch diameter pipe and fittings. In this case, I used 3/32” for the loading arms and 1/4 “ for the two main feed lines. Other than that I build structures based on customer needs with regard to size.

Joe,

You can have fun adding gingerbread to those silos. I am sure they will look great when you put your finishing touch on them.
