50 Gallon Drums

55.5

Is Personal
Have recently acquired a wood turning lathe and having supplied everyone I know with bowls, candle holders, tea light holders toadstools etc I am now thinking of doing some 50 gallon drums for my layout.

Can anyone advise what the dimensions would be for a G scale 50 gallon drum?
 
I thought you were going to create a barby or a band when I saw the title ;D
 
Oddly enough our beer is supplied in 50 litre barrels :-\
 
Oil drums are actually usually 45 gallon (210 liters) God only knows why!
 
I think the size goes way back, to whaling times, and wooden casks, but don't quote me. Just something that seems to have stuck from college.
