Woah thats a cool model!

[@sylvainvanduyl6143]

Again, a nice tank Herbert!

[@trekanbelluvitsh]

I saw Barnaby and you running around on such tanks a lots of times in "Rust" or "7DTD". I wish there were N-scale Herbert and Barnaby doing their responsable weapon handling - as you two do.

A good tank 😝

Clearly, you must paint it yellow, write PISS on the side of it and place it next to the sewage treatment plant on your layout. You *do* have a sewage treatment plant on your layout, don’t you? In the real world, similar tanks have been used to hold many different kinds of fluids, not just petroleum products. They are and have been industry standard worldwide for about a hundred years as you noted, but you have many options here other than painting it white and finding the letters B and P in your decal stash to put on it. Also, it looks like a great starting point for scratch building a spaceship or mech especially given all the extra parts that came with it.

I have been thinking about labeling this "piss" I've got a tank wagon in progress like that though, so I might do something different. Maybe I can think of some clever acronym.

Nothing wrong with modelling a British railway, just interested why you chose to do so - is it something you particularly like, wider range of options, better availability of models?

[@HerbertErpaderp]

The options for Australian N scale is very limited and extra expensive. I've always loved British steam and early diesels and I felt like the short wagons would look better in the space I had. Typical British scenery is more appealing to me as well.

@@HerbertErpaderp How about one of those massive Australian trains that cross the whole country - even in tiny N-Scale that would be 7.5 metres long.
