    Interesting!! Quite a high idle rate Will run the numbers when I get back to my desk

    Of course if the engine is idling in a siding, the tank would be enough to keep her ticking over for a month

    I feel like I was back in front of my class writing it (my previous life as a school teacher )

    Well the 071's have 126.8 litre engines (this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_645) that produce 2,250 horsepower. The Fuel Tanks are 3,600 L on each Loco. As a rule of thumb, a large diesel will burn 3.5-4l of fuel per 20hp. So 2250hp/20=112.5 x 3.5l = 393.75 litres of fuel per hour at full tilt. However, fuel consumed is proportional to the cube of the engine revs, so if the engine is at 65% power say, then power developed 65% x 65% x65% = 27% max = 607.5hp = 106 litres per hour. On that basis, at an average 65% revs, the tank will last about 33 hours.

    Beautiful work Anthony - I'm surprised by how much of a difference the smoothed front / grab rails make!

    Looking good Tom - what's the overall area? I assume the double line running around is the mainline? If I could make a suggestion, you might want to change the crossing for a slip / point to allow locos enter the exit the depot branch from the left / outside line? (ie: locos can enter from the outside track, and exit to the inside track) It might also be useful to incorporate a headshunt (even a short one) to let locos, or short fuel oil trains shunt between the depot lines? Have you can idea of shed / wash / other feature placement?
