I will start looking at sites that have Kindermann tanks then. And Marc, in your signature, are you trying to say Cha'n eil bàs fir gun ghràs fir? My Gaelic is a little rusty, and my background is in Scottish Gaelic.

I am not "trying" to say anything. "Cha robh bàs fir gun ghràs fir!" is good colloquial Scots Gaelic. Argue with John McKechnie if you wish -- I stole it from his book! You are putting it in the present tense, and it needs to go into the predicate as a general conditional.
