A dual action airbrush can seem intimidating at first…pushing the button while also pulling it back but it is easy with just a very little practice. I have been using dual action airbrushes for

I should know this, but don't. Where was the common place for the steam line connections to the heating coils in heated tankcars? I have seen a few photos of car with connections protruding through
