    Re: FS: 5561 model team Off-Road Van 4x4 —Paul Foster
   (...) I think the type of tank car Larry is talking about has 20 rows of cylinders laying flat in the same orientation as the one large cylinder of a normal tank car. Why they do this, I don't know. Probably something to do with safety. (26 years ago, 21-Nov-98, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.trains)

   (...) Thats it all right. As to why, it is indeed for safety. It turns out that a small cylinder is stronger than a big one, for the same wall thickness. Also, if you lose one, you still have 19 left. (26 years ago, 23-Nov-98, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.trains)
