albertstrains posted:I do have some pics of CP oil tanks but they are so far in the background. I have included a shot taken at Revelstoke sometime in the mid 60's. I did find some detail parts from Sellers/Finishing Touches(Bowser), which I will include a pic of . Here there is a pipe spanning two tracks for re-fueling.
I need to find a detailed pic of the storage tank for scratch-building...still lol
That is EXACTLY the oil fill stand pipe you need! The oils supply would be from heated tanks, reasonably close to that stand pipe. The oil fuel, from the old days of steam locomotives, must be heated (usually by the steam from the terminal steam power plant), in order for it to flow, i.e. at least 150 degrees F.
