Gene, 55 gln drums not only have not only have a particular size, but also two distinctive dimples for structural straight when stacked.The moisture absorbing pellets will not replicate what you looking for. With that said, many other items come in containers that are of different sizes. One idea is to either paint, or wrap them brown paper bag material to simulate cardboard sides, paint the tops galvanize, and some type of colored label(s) Bill Rigsby Poe folk S Scale model railroadin in South California

I have a bunch of small cylinders that are used to keep moisture out of one of my medications. I've been saving them, but don't know what the dimensions should be for a scale drum. If they are too small, perhaps I can make them into larger cans such as trash cans. Let me know if you have any ideas regarding this. Thanks, Gene Cimino
