The SWS Superior doors are 10'6". I need these for a 10' car.

Thanks Bill! Found them in one of the IMWX kits I wasn't aware of I still had... ;))
They're a fraction too short, but a small strip on styrene will do fine.

cheers,
Fred

Not necessarily ... fillers can make the material go further, or decrease
its density, or otherwise modify its properties.

Hi, Bill,



I realize that you have a plan for the ball room. That assumes we have the same vendors each yr. So, how do you handle new vendors if we don’t lose any? Also, how much space are we allocating and where is it located for those wanting to sell their own stuff?

Like a lot of us the passage of time is forcing some of us to down size and reduce the fleet and library. I know in the past limited table space in the model display rooms has been available to sell stuff as individuals. My surplus is reaching a point where I probably need a table. What's the procedure to get space in a public area of the Hilton?



Thanks,

Hi Rob, Ron, and List Members,

Note on their web site it mentions fillers in several places, in particular "its ability to combine with tremendous amounts of filler, which can then be utilized in filling voids, dents, pits, and gaps in almost any situation".

I suspect that if a filler is needed, it may be because the material on its own without the filler may shrink. This would make it unsuitable for making castings.

    Also I've never heard of this before;

"fill a small Dixie cup full of silicone windshield sealer (available in most auto stores)---- allow silicone mold to cure (usually takes 48 hours)"

    If it's a windshield sealer wouldn't it stick to the master?

This door comes in the undec Innovative Model Works kits.

Hi all,

searched the web, but can't find them. Who makes 7 panel Superior doors for 10' IH cars? I posess doors for 10'6" IH cars, but these do not fit the resin kit I'd like to add them to.

thanks for your help, best regards from sunny Holland

I found this image in the April 1930 N&W employee magazine. Car retarders have to get to their installation point somehow - though I would have assumed they were constructed in place.

John,

The gloves have been covered (harbor freight).  I have used both baking soda (bulk bags, Sam's Club) and Aluminum Oxide grit. The baking soda is much safer to use (the AlO2 dust is baaaad to breath... use a mask in addition to the booths).  You can also dispose of it on your lawn if you need to alkalinize it (as I do!).  However, baking soda is far less able to remove things like paint, although it works just fine to prep resin and brass surfaces for paint.

Regards
