[Steam-engine] Port Huron Water Tanks

Beth, 
Peerless Tanks are similar in shape and construction. After having them  rust 
out within 15 years, I had the next pair made from galvanized sheet.  So far 
20 years on them and no sign of rust.  I have never had any problem  in 
finding a local shop that can form and rivet them.
It helps if you sandblast the outside before you paint. 
Good Luck,
Jack Hottel
