Four vertical tanks
Two "brick" pumphouses
Tank car unloading rack
Detailed berms
Colorful decals for several dealerships

Businesses like McGraw Oil Company sold heating oil, diesel fuel and gasoline to consumers and dealers. Each had several storage tanks, a rack and piping for unloading tank cars and pumphouses for loading local delivery trucks. This Cornerstone Series kit is patterned after a typical trackside business and includes two different pumphouses with truck loading booms, four vertical tanks and a retention berm, tank car unloading rack and decals with a variety of business names. These dealerships could be found in small towns and larger cities from the 1930s on, so this kit will look great on your steam- or diesel-era layout. Storage Tanks: 6-1/2 x 6-1/2 x 5", Pumphouses: 2-3/8 x 5-1/2 x 3"
