So using the info in Gizzy's excellent link, I've started doing a bit more on the standard gauge pudding. One thing I can't see on any photos of British oil tankers (or the previously mentioned link) is the fitting at the end of the tank. This looks to me like the over-pressure burst disc as fitted to LPG tanks?  What do you reckon? Whip it off, or leave it?

Some wagons do some don't, I can only recall seeing it on LPG and other pressurised gas tanks not on oil tanks. Depends what you're thinking of carrying Mel

Oil Paul, it will be retaining it's BP colour scheme. Re. your second pic, yes that is one of the options to come from Giz's link. Depends on which time period I plump for.
