Gene one solution would be to run an hose from the compressor to your paint booth, mount the moisture trap and regulator on the outside of the paint booth, attach your airbrush to the regulator or

Gentlemen, I don't want to pick an argument but I would disagree. Most of the moisture we get in our applications is from the moisture that is compressed with the air. I don't think given the short

With the very patient help of Ed Hawkins I finally sorted out the shapes of the various fixtures on the top of the dome and it has evolved considerably since the photo you will see on Pierre's blog.

When you say "as far down the airline as you can" I assume you mean as far away from the compressor as possible. That make sense because the air would be ever cooler as it progressed away from the

Thanks, Ed! Excellent hard data information! It would be wonderful to have all that compiled into a spreadsheet like you did for some types of box cars. If you could use any help with that let me

As a followup to the thread on the Semet-Solvay tankcar, I've just posted on my blog some in progress views of the upcoming model kit. Go to http://elgincarshops.blogspot.ca/ and have a gander at Bill

Thank you Richard and David Sieber, the photos are much appreciated. More thank enough to work with.

Given there are sevral tankcars in museums with wood runingbords about two inches thick, one need not imagine, insted get out of the basment and see the real thing in person. mark rickert Sent with

I’m not certain, but I believe this is a “digester” vessel for a paper mill. These pressure vessels are heated and pressurized to “cook” the lignin out of the wood to make paper pulp. Doug

A little slow off the mark, as I didn't order until after the discussion started here. My two examples arrived today from MB Klein as GARX 3491 and 3498. Modeling the Santa Fe in Richmond circa

Thank you Tony. We do want people to use these and anyone from a RR Historical Group who has asked about these for their magazine has been informed of our pretty generous conditions for use in those
