Bill, i have 2 compressors, a Mr Hobby L7 and a Paasche DC600R. The L7 maxes out around 25 psi, but is very quiet. The Paasche is capable of higher pressures but is noisier - but quieter than some,

Bill I use a Iwata Hammerhead Shark https://www.madisonartshop.com/haheshaico.html Extremely quiet, same as a refrigerator. It has a ½ gallon air tank and puts out a max of 118lbs and 2.15 cfm. I

Forgot to mention I used baking soda. The 'blaster' recommendation on the box is 90 psi. Seemed to work best at that, novice speaking of course. Clark

I use diving air. It is dry and filtered. Cheap to refill but costly to start up. Mansell Peter Hambly COQUITLAM, B.C. CANADA Sent from Mail for Windows

I've never used my blaster to remove a paint job - I use it to clean up the model after chemical stripping, or to prepare an unpainted model or parts for painting. Tim O'Connor -- *Tim

Can anyone recommend a "Silent" compressor that has a high output. I live in a condominium and if I use a standard compressor my neighbors are at my door with torches and pitchforks. Bill Pardie Sent

All I know now is what was included in the file name - David Newcomb was the modeler and it was at the "Pacific Northwest" RPM meet in 2008. -- *Tim O'Connor* *Sterling, Massachusetts*

I definitely had to upgrade my compressor when I bought a North Coast Engineering grit blaster. Both capacity and flow are important variables. I too typically grit blast at around 60 PSI, both with

I've found I needed 60+ psi and alu oxide grit to get good results on brass, using a Paasche Air Eraser. Soda or lower pressure didn't have enough oomph. Paul, which blaster are you using, and which

While the subject of this thread has been “Single-Sheathed Boxcars" it has certainly turned into a ‘hide car’ discussion. Perhaps some of the group attended an RPM where my talk on this subject

You shouldn't have to wait for your compressor to catch up. Even the 60 psi is way too much to use on plastic or brass. Hopefully you're using a pressure regulator with a moisture trap. I' suggest

There’s been discussions about grit blasting on the groups I frequent. Last spring/summer I bought a Central Pneumatic abrasive blaster gun as recommended on sale at some store. We were out of town

Hi folks There is a site on face book toygiftoutlet.online that is selling Broadway limited engines for a ridiculously low price. It is a SPOOF from the Chinese. They are using the M. B.

Tim Thanks for posting those woodchip Gon photos. I’m very curious about the MILW model as I have been trying to find both prototype info and a good model to start with. Would you have any more

John, I have one of these in kit form still. I think this is the part. It looks like one of the drains, since they give you 6 of those you might be able to just substitute one.

There were tanneries in several eastern locations. The Western Maryland Railway served tanneries in Parsons and Elkins. The C&O served a tannery in Frank, WV, at the very end of the

Gentlemen, I'm building the HO scale Red Caboose model of a Mather meat refrigerator car. I seem to have lost a part and need to fashion a new one. Does anyone have a photo of a Mather meat reefer,

Please note that the WAG boxcar still retained, in the upper right corner, the logo of its former owner, the Boston & Maine Railroad. Ken Montero

If I recall correctly, WAG (Wellsville, Addison & Galeton) was nicknamed the "Sole Leather Line" because of the tanneries along that railroad. Here is a link to a short book about
