Re: Tamiya Flat Clear TS-80 spray can
I have switched to Mr Hobby super clear flat. It is by far the best of the rattle can flats I have used. Doesn't get very frosty at all. It looks like it goes on heavy but it really evaporates and

2.) I used the length of 40', as in

Re: Striker Castings
That looks better. Note on the partial end view the nuts show at the bottom left corner of the casting, along with a call out for the bolt, which I just can't quite read, but looks like 1-3/8"

Re: Photo: Milwaukee Road Silk Train
Hi Don,
Yes, Beaver Creek was the importer, Samhongsa was the builder and 1986 was the first year imported. Southern Pacific was the road, I have #6965 and I believe it is from the 1994 Run.

Tony,
No, that's not the photo I saw. The car in the photo I remember pretty much filled the entire frame. Good call though. This might be the same class.
