Tender Oil Tank

I've started work on the oil tank for the 0-6-0 tender, using styrene. The tank is essentially a box that will cover the tender's coal bunker. I made the box out of styrene and have filed the corners to round them. All that's left to add is the filling spout and vent pipe, and paint.

Also, while I'm doing this, I'll probably take the opportunity to reletter the tender for "Gulf Harbor Terminal" rather than the current "Idaho & Palouse", which definitely won't fit on a Texas railroad! As before, I will use dry transfer white lettering, which has proved very durable; the current lettering has been on since 1991 with no problems.
