New rail wagon set: petrol/oil tanker set

Another of my Simutrans projects is to make a full timeline set of petrol/oil wagons for Pak128. I have created a set that consists in 9 different wagons, starting in 1870 to the last one available from 2001. They are all shown below.

• Wagon #1: Wood Barrels Wagon This wagon is not inspired in any real thing in particular. I've taken ideas from many old pictures over the internet, specially to the first wagons used in mid-east asia old oil wells. I'm sorry I lost the links for them. It represents a number of wooden barrels over a wooden platform, running over rails. It's a very short wagon (length=4) with capacity for 5 m³ of oil, and max. speed of 45 Km/h. Available from 1870 to 1885.
• Wagon #2: Iron Tanks Wagon Like wagon number one, this one isn't inspired in any special wagon, but a mix of ideas taken from several pictures. It represents a couple of big iron tanks over a metal platform, running over rails. It's a very short wagon (length=4) with capacity for 7 m³ of oil, and max. speed of 50 Km/h. Available from 1885 to 1900.
• Wagon #3: CSD-502 Tank Wagon This wagon is inspired in the Czech "St.E.G. R 502623" wagon. It's a short wagon (length=6) with capacity for 12 m³ of oil, and max. speed of 60 Km/h. Available from 1900 to 1920.
• Wagon #4: CSD-556 Tank Wagon This wagon is inspired in the Czech "CSD R 556003" wagon. It's a short wagon (length=6) with capacity for 15 m³ of oil, and max. speed of 70 Km/h. Available from 1920 to 1940.
• Wagon #5: Esso Tank Wagon This wagon is inspired in an unknown old Esso wagon. It's a short wagon (length=6) with capacity for 19 m³ of oil, and max. speed of 80 Km/h. Available from 1940 to 1960.
• Wagon #6: CEPSA Tank Wagon This wagon is inspired in an unknown modern CEPSA wagon. It's a standard wagon with capacity for 24 m³ of oil, and max. speed of 90 Km/h. Available from 1960 to 1976.
