[quote user="Last Chance"] I have actually enjoyed building the plastruct propane horizonal model in HO scale. I think I might still have a photo somewhere in my backup media. But the robin's egg blue paint I put on it is well... not exactly MANLY ya know? LOL. Maybe next time I build something like that, I put white on it. [/quote] That’s funny that you mentioned the color, because I was just discussing this with my wife. I had to remind her of the propane outfit in town that paints
[quote user="Last Chance"] Here are several more. http://home.comcast.net/~pchristou/silhoutes.pdf Overview of tankcar types and useful tidbits. Just enough knowledge to make you a armed and dangerous researcher of model tank cars. http://archive.xstrata.com/norfalco/www.norfalco.com/documents/NorFalco_H2SO4TechBrochure.pdf Mostly acids but there is much about manways and stuff. I had a PDF related to IAFF Tankcar fittings, domes and other stuff that pertains to those tank cars that have
[quote user="mobilman44"] The terminal loaded both tank cars and tank trucks. The trucks were loaded via hoses, and the tank cars were loaded in a similar manner. The Cornerstone oil loading rack would easily work. I have two melded together and it does the job. [/quote] Hi Mobilman44, I have a Cornerstone Interstate Fuel & Oil that I haven’t opened yet, is that what you are talking about? I didn’t know if it would work. I also stumbled upon a Walthers Central Gas & Supply and I
[quote user="Last Chance"] I hope I never hear the word Bleve where we are. [/quote] Wow, I had to look that one up. I never heard the word “Bleve” before. I probably will not have room on my little N-scale layout to handle all those safety regulations, LOL. I have decided to model my station (or whatever the correct terminology is) after Photograph 1 and Photograph 3 . I ordered the Plastruct Twin Horizontal Propane Tanks and the Heljan Diesel Fueling & Sanding Complex. I’m going to
[quote user="garya"] Here's a thread I replied to about a year ago, with some pictures: http://cs.trains.com/trccs/forums/p/52268/1293574.aspx#1293574 [/quote] Thanks Gary, I think I can do something like what's shown in the photos.
Well, I just got my 1 st rail nippers after years without, but I love my Atlas saw. I also can’t do without my combination magnetized jewelers screwdriver set and needle nose pliers.
The bench looks good, glad to see that you didn’t overbuild. I see a lot of benches built with enough 2x6’s that they could support a truck.
[quote user="BlueHillsCPR"] I can't believe no one has mentioned an NMRA track gauge. The list of tools could be endless. It just depends on where the hobby takes you. [/quote] Oh yes, that’s important. One tool that I wish I had when laying flex track is the Flex Track Alignment tool, but I still don't have one.
I decided to buy a small fleet of N-scale 33,000 Gallon Tank Cars and add a spur to scratch build a Propane filling station. I originally thought of purchasing a Cornerstone Series(R) Central Gas & Supply, but I guess they are not available anymore in N scale. I have been searching the internet for photos of an actual filling operation to get an idea of what it looks like. I found some photos like at the Kentuckybluegas facility but nothing showing the equipment used to fill a tank car. The Walthers
I remember a train wreck around 1960 near Pittsburgh that left TV’s all over the place. The newspaper said they got all TVs back but a lot of my friends had a new TV in their living room.
