To go next to the big factory and before I start on the big warehouse. On route 101 near Epping NH lies Buxton Fuel Oil company…I drive by there when taking the bucket truck up to Raymond for service. Buxton has 5, 20,000 gallon, horizontal tanks that they store fuel oil in. It looks like the 18 wheelers bring it in from a tank farm somewhere and it goes out in the typical home delivery tank truck that can peobably be seen just about anywhere… It’s the inspiration for CAFOCo 
So begins Cape Ann Fuel Oil Co… From the port of Gloucester to Rockport via rail and then out and about via truck. Tank pedestals are 3/4" Azek (of course) Tanks are 4" PVC pipe (4.5" o.d.) 23" long…which if my math is correct makes the tanks about 40,000 gallons. I prefer short rail cars as short rail cars always look good on curves especially my 15 foot radius stuff…which is why Im’ using USAs 10,000 gallon cars…also I’m running 1950s locos too. Although we’re a branch line so I can run anything. And of course I’m over 60 so I can do whatever I want anyway Does that make sense… Tanks Have sintra ends which are drying now…trim tomorro
Her’s what one looks like with a 1:32 deliver truck that the grandkids have beat for a few years.
