That's the paint scheme the early NP's Airslides had in service. Chris Frissell Polson, MT

I'm 1943-1944! Bill Jolitz

Donald yes it can, just my way of doing it as the dental pick is much stiffer than a pin or needle. And, when you have a good number supplied by my dentist ( years back), as Bill mentioned, you look

I like Tony Thompson's approach. He publishes in the magazines, and then refers to the articles, corrects them, summarizes them, or expands on them in his blog. Richard Townsend Lincoln City, OR

A builder’s photo for sure. Did that car get painted another color when it went into service? And that color would have been . . .?? Schuyler

“stuff that used to end up in a magazine is put online by the owner” And is therefore harder than hell to find. I’ve stumbled on to some great stuff, but it’s essentially unsearchable

Another source of Dental tools is your Dentist, just ask to see their broken tools the next time you are there. Great price. Bill Welch

I know Mike Schafer of RMC fairly well, and what he says is that he can’t publish what he doesn’t have…That said, I wonder about the direction of the magazine under the new editor, Otto Vondrak.

I was very disappointed in the decoder quality in the Broadway Limited PRR P5A boxcabs. The sound wasn't good to my ear and it didn't run as well as I would like. I'm a Loksound user so I went

Many have found the nozzle does close on some of the super glues as once in a while on the Zap I use. I would like to share a tool I made to clear the nozzle. It is a dental pick with a straightened

I scan the few articles of interest from MR and RMC so I can search them on the hard drive using keywords. The problem with that is that as interests and needs change, I have to go back through the
