Ballarat East Fuel Tank 2



Adjacent to the large fuel tank at the maintenance building and turntable at Ballarat East, are smaller secondary tanks on stands. I chose to add one of these to the locomotive depot although had to change its location to the other side of the large tank due to clearance issues with the turntable roads.



The tank was made out a tube in the scrap box, with the ends made from styrene sheet which were shaped in warm water over a metal spoon. The done/lid on the tank was a left over hatch from a Railmotor Models J series hopper wagon. The stand was made out of styrene strip and shapes.




I also added one of the red boxes near the maintenance shed. I assumed that these housed a fire hydrant and hoses.
