[Steam-engine] Port Huron Water Tanks

[Beth]

Hi Andy,

Yes, I have the tanks in process.  They have their original cast top &
bottoms which make them a little tricker to rivet.  The other challenge is
that Port Huron tanks are square with rounded corners.

If anyone needs a set, it would decrease the price for both of us.

Thanks
Beth
