Track is weathered, sanded and tested, now it’s time to work on the first 6’ section.  Closest 6’ section upper two tracks will be an LPG Transloading Facility based on the pictures included.  Have all the items necessary and look forward to seeing the finished product.

Brad, I mean assemble.

Brad, I mean assemble.  You’re right about Walthers, I purchased the Central Gas kit, extra tanks, the truck loading racks and the modern loading racks for tank cars.   May get into the scratch building at some point.
