Re: Airbrush question

I agree with Nelson although I would choose the Iwata double action. I have a new Paasche single action set in the box I will sell. Jared Harper Athens, GA

One of the AAR recommendations / requirements for AB brake installations was that the control valve was to NOT be placed below a door, where trucks backing up to the car to load / unload might damage

Re: Airbrush question

Hi Mark, I prefer the siphon bottle by a large margin. I may be just too clumsy to use the gravity cup without spilling, but I also like being able to screw a siphon cap onto the same bottle in which

Re: C&O 100-ton Gondola article on eBay

Hi Al, You say they were re-trucked in 1924. What type of trucks did they receive? Do you know where to find the original style trucks in HO? Would Buckeye trucks be a suitable substitute? Thank
