Actually a more careful look revealed a few RR color under the Poly scale brand. Also note that when one highlight a color, a representation appears as a guide. I am sure the answer to your question

Hi Bill,   There was not the usual buzz of excitement to this years show. Athearn did their big reveal of GP-38-2's. If this is a model you have waited for, then your prayers have been

Good points Bruce. Probably the one thing I don't do and probably won't is grit blast. I've been very successful with lacquer for over 30 years and will probably continue. That limits me to

Nice; but as you say, no model RR colors. Therefore, not quite "ultimate". I did leave feedback at the site asking why. Thanks! -- Brian P. Ehni From: Bill Welch

Fenton, First, a nit to pick, these paints are technically NOT water based. The solvent is alcohol. Because alcohol is water SOLUBLE, these paints are also water SOLUBLE. As for adherence, I've

When painting with acrylics, the mantra is "keep the air dry, keep the paint wet". - thin with DI water - thinning with alcohol causes the paint to dry to quickly (retarder might be good... never

All of the talk about paint has me Googling paint related things and I came across this resource which does NOT have RR colors but could be useful nonetheless. Bill Welch

Has anyone mentioned that True Line Trains had an 8-hatch CN overhead brine tank reefer on display at Springfield? It looked like a pre-production sample, not decorated, but it looked very nicely

I've probably got my wires crossed, but I could have sworn that someone was going to do either the PC&F or MAGOR box cars for BAR in HO scale as an RTR model? Or am I just confused? Tim O'Connor

Darn - that was stupid - I should have walked to the shop before answering. I have cars from the initial run - in the early, pre-Kuhler scheme. Sorry about the

I should have thought of that when I wrote the initial question! Thanks for asking. I'm working on models in the as-built Kuhler scheme. Rob

How come? Andy

I have been using Polly for years. recently I bought a mechanical Tea bag at IKEA. It is a scissors like device with 2 semi round screens. I use it to screen out silod matter from the paint before I

Fenton, I've heard of using washer fluid as "thinner" but not for cleaning, stick with the alcohol. Chuck Hladik
