Please take a look at the first picture in this link (if it works).

I need help with where to get air tanks and lines like these pictured in that auction so I can make my Weaver and MTH Southern E-8 A units have this same look.
At one time, I talked to a well-known brass dealer and almost figured out some of the brass pieces (tubes plus end caps) I would need but did not complete the order since they did not have the parts at that time.
Has anyone else already added air tanks like this and can help me with realistic dimensions of the actual tanks and how to match those sizes in scale parts?
Here is one more shot showing end of tank and air lines:

Are the tanks possibly 9 inches in diameter with 1-inch air lines? What about length?
Is there any chance MTH or someone makes a similar air tank as a replacement part to a passenger-equipped GP-7 or 9 such as this one?
