<p>[quote user="kasskaboose"]I get their purpose and plan to model them, but must I have five cars between the engine(s) and tank cars that carry AA or LPGs?[/quote]</p> <p>If they are in a unit train, no. Mixed trains, I dont remember, but I am thinking yes.</p> <p>[quote user="kasskaboose"] What about if the tank cars are empty?[/quote]</p> <p> They are not considered empty once unloaded. Tank cars containing hazmat are treated as if it contains hazmat and will stay posted as such even when unloaded. Placards can only be removed when car is washed out completely.</p>
