Great installation! I'd love having a string of those nasty black 50' or 60' tanks with the red placards.

Lionel took no consideration at all concerning 2 Rail conversions, hence the styrene strip and and under set shank. 3 done, 3 to go!!

Way to go p/b; I definitely will NOT disable my adblocker.
