The Walthers Cornerstone Trackside Oil Dealer with Storage Tanks captures a classic North American industrial scene that has stood along rail lines from the 1920s to today. Oil arrives in tank cars, transfers into five on-site storage tanks, and gets distributed via a small loading warehouse for barrels and a pump house for filling local delivery trucks. The narrow modular footprint is perfect for shelf layouts, and you can rearrange the office, warehouse, tank row, and pump house to fit whatever space you've got.

Can I customize the layout?
Yes — the four pieces (office, warehouse, tank row, pump house) are separate buildings, so you can arrange them however your scene needs. Perfect for shelf layouts and odd-shaped industrial parcels.
How many storage tanks are included?
Five tanks with rooftop walkways and connecting piping for the full trackside oil-dealer look.
What era does it fit?
Anywhere from the 1920s through today. Oil dealers like this served small towns and city industrial districts from the early days of automotive and heating-oil use right up to modern times.
Does it need painting?
It's molded in five colors plus clear plastic and builds straight from the box. Weathering the tanks and the corrugated metal walls with rust streaks and oil staining pushes the realism way up if you want to take it further.
