Combining several ideas including a couple off-line solutions, I solved my mold release problem by using a piece of overhead transparency film against the resin. I thought I had some Mylar available

I'm pretty sure Don Tichy produces both CMA and Tichy stuff. The CMA name? Maybe a tax break, or partnership, was involved. Does it matter? Tim O'Connor

Coils could be small -- there is an interior shot of N&W 72180 that shows two parallel coil troughs running the length of the car, and the roof is only as high as the car sides.

Hi Jack, Polish the glass with a silicon based car polish. It was recommended by the fiberglass people when I laid up some fiberglass moulds on my Corvette. The resin wouldn't stick to the polished

Gentlemen, Can someone direct me to a typical layout diagram for the KC brake system where two hand brakes would be used as on a caboose? Been looking, but so far no luck. Thanx, Gene Semon

.020 Lexan sheet works well for me. I have found that mold release only has a minimal affect on extending the use of the lexan sheet. Expect about 60+ applications before the sheet won't let go of the
