Oil Rule's

Wow! You really are TALL Paul.  :lol:

Well, I’m not only a railroad modeller (HO, O, and 7 1/2" live steam soon) but a railroad collector, photographer, historian, and for about a decade, a conductor on the BNSF (see below). And I will hopefully soon be building my Railroad & Military Museum.

Cool…I’m not only a railroad modeller. (HO scale). I’m also a railroad collector, a railfan since the last 15 years and I work at part time in train hobby shop since 1995.
My father work for CN and CP during 35 years. I have ‘‘rails’’ under my skin!

Guys,

@Young:

Wow! You really are TALL Paul.  :lol:
**––Well while I’m about 6’-4" tall,…I am the SHORTEST man in my family!  :-o
My Dad, a WW2 vet(see his pic at LEFT), is about 5" TALLER than me! Comes from the German (Prussia) side of our family. My sister is shorter than me, only 6’-0". She was a model years ago (Miss Shreveport).
----Anyway, I’m called “Tall Paul” NOT because I have an ego or anything, but usually in my life when I’m around friends there were usually two or three Paul’s,…so I was called Tall Paul and it just “stuck”.

––What do you collect?
a railfan since the last 15 years
––Chased and photographed steam engines all over (Canada, Mexico and almost South Africa) since 1975
and I work at part time in train hobby shop since 1995.
––My first job was full time at a leading Train store for 5 1/2 years
My father work for CN and CP during 35 years.
––My uncle was an engineer with KCS for 30+ years
I have ‘‘rails’’ under my skin!
––My Dad was a “railfan” and took me on my first steam chase/photograph trip (UP #8444 Boise, Idaho) back in 1965 when I was 7 years old. My Grandmother was a technition at the Louisiana State Museum and helped build all of the diaramas. So between all of them it was kind of a “Perfect Storm” that hit me and made me a Railroad & Military historan/collector, etc.

Hi guys,

I know I’m a little late to the party with this thread,  but there is a great resource for oil barrels at you local game store you should know about. …

POWER GRID

It has little wooden oil barrels that fit in perfectly with the Axis & Allies board and pieces (and this rule set). It’s not overly expensive, around 40ish dollars. As an added bonus, it’s a pretty decent game. It’s actually one of the few games my fiance will play…. unlike A&A, which she makes a point of leaving the house if it’s being played.

Here’s a picture of a few of the Power Grid oil barrels with some OOB Russians and an oil derrick I picked up from HBG.

Making oil barrels?

Why not just paint some capacitors?
That way, you can get them in any color and size you want, and they are really cheap :)

The oil concept seems cool will test it next time i have the chance….
