Cool. Literally I suppose. Cryo is short for cryogenic I assume? The lettering on the tank says it is for liquid Argon but I am trying to think what that much Argon would be used for in one place.

Do you have a bit more info on the prototype? Nice model
Built a waterfront HO layout in Ireland http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=22161 but now making a start in On30 in Australia

Thanks guys. Argon is used in chip mfg, so I guess there is a big demand. Cryogenic is correct, about -305 degs.

Wow! That's a REALLY impressive scratchbuild project there -- beautiful job!

Argon is also used in the production of insulated windows (heavy inert gas between glass panels) ... and as a filler gas in fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs ...
