In the photos that Paul Dogget posted this morning of some of Bob Smaus' great modeling I notice that there is "ON", "OFF" lettering on the fan control box. Anyone have any idea where this lettering

I use a California Air Tools compressor for everything around the house. It’s far more than adequate for airbrushing, and works well for brad nailers, etc. when used at a modest pace. It’s not up

If 60 decibels is ok for you Lowes and Menard's sell tanked compressors that meet your needs for a reasonable price. Lowes offers several 60 db units

Wow! Thanks to Jeff, Mike, Doug, Nelson, Ken, Tim, Steve and others for an informative discussion on hide cars and traffic. I did not know this where my questions on IC 50' composite autocar modeling

I have upgraded Sunshine Models Wisconsin Central (W.C.) “sawtooth” box car, numbered 135316 built last month. Upgrade was done after learning these cars had a early “high Power” hand brake

The stencil on this car states it is to be returned to Santa Fe Springs, CA. I grew up not far from the Santa Fe depot in at this location. It was a tiny structure surrounded by oil field and citrus

Wow. I've been in noisier hospital rooms than that! 😁 You could paint on the kitchen table during dinner and no one would even notice. 😂 -- Tim O'Connor Sterling,

What we need is a Db rating for them at, say, 10 feet. Years ago I watched a custom painter doing seasonal window painting inside a Dunkin Donuts and the compressor was almost as quiet as a coffee

Members of an email discussion group recently shared many resin freight car projects. The photos and notes have been assembled into the latest Resin Car Works blog post.

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'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
