So I made a resolution to get the layout operational before Spring…part of this was deciding what industries needed to be placed. I decided I wanted a petroleum dealer, and this meant tank cars. I didn;t want the ubiquetous tank on flat car that everyone has, I wanted an honest to god purpose built industrial liquid transport vehicle. That left out the Bachmann model. I came across San Juan Car Company model…then saw the price tag…YEOW!!! $90 a car!!! I didn’t pay that much for my 1:20.3 ones! So what to do…work is slow and the heating bill is high…Looking around The Bartwerks…I began to see things…hey…thats the right size girder…oooooh I can use that too…hey that pipes just about right…Oooooh yhose trucks will work
Equipped with a copy of Carstens Slim Gauge Cars and a 1:20.3 model the debauchery begins…
