I used a reduction Barb for hose transition.
I tried that with the 1/8 inch ID a little long and then the stock silicone hose, but bending the 1/8 inch ID hose was too extreme with the real wall in place. So I did the less than 1/2 inch couplers instead and let the stock silicone hose do the bend. What we really need to feel comfortable is a couple right angle 1/8 inch ID silicone elbows. BUT this is dry so far and working. When my original whittled down hose broke, it syphened out an ounce of Lionel Premium Smoke Fluid onto the Loader floor, etc. That's a half a bottle! And that's a mess I don't want to repeat...
Lionel said if I'm not happy with my cleanup, they would send me a new one. I'm happy and like to be conservative of other's resources, so I would probably clean it up again, but maybe completely disassemble it next time and do something super secure as to the hoses.
