I am currently working on creating a corn syrup transloading facility. I managed to come across the following item off Ebay from the UK. Seems like this Piko kit is only made in Europe. I have already gotten some custom made Cargill signs along with ground sign holders and semi tankers also off Ebay.
I will add some storage tanks to complete the scene.
This is perfect for a small footprint industry.

Also forgot to add the office for the facility by Deluxe. Ebay has these ready built for about $12 or $13.

Corn syrup, I have hauled a few return loads of it out of the mid west back to Jersey.
Too bad they don't make the correct tanker truck in N scale.
You know that your tankers are for either chemicals or fuel oils? No one will know that anyway.
And before there was Food grade regulations corn syrup could have been hauled in that type of tank.
But not today, I don't think you will find any food grade tankers types in N scale.
HO, yes, Food grade,

Like I said no one will know.
Where did you find those tankers on e bay?

Storage tanks can be made out of different food cans easily if you don't want to buy them. Soup, Tuna, veggies etc. cans. A coffee can will make you a huge storage tank.
Hoses? Straws of different sizes work with a little paint. Flexible straws can turn corners. Or heat can be used to bend them, that takes some practice.

Yeah, the tankers were off ebay and HO does have the correct type. Unfortunately, you have to make do with N Scale. I am looking for a specific tank set that is prebuilt and painted for the storage side of things. As for straws, better for HO/O considering size but I think I solved that problem by using actual HO/O scale air hoses. Just need to paint them appropriately,
