Rob & All, (...) Thanks! So just pipes out to those racks, and they fill up via the top of the tank cars. Hmm.... I wonder if those new Octan tanker cars will come out in time! : ) Just what I was thinking of, so thanks again! : ) Scott S. -- (23 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

TO All the Train Guru's out there, I am building two Octan Fuel Storage tanks for the MLTC GATS display in Grand Rapids, Michigan and I have a question. How do the tanker cars get fuel from those round tanks? Is there a special mechanism or is it (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)
