SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO BLINK
If you look at my picture (green Red Ball kit), on the resin list, you will see that car in the right of the picture. I think this deserves a very big grin or laugh. And I can feel Ben quivering in hi

Super Clean Degreaser to remove lettering
I also read up on the various white toners. What I read was a dedicated machine. However when I saw the price I quickly dropped the subject!:-D

hi tech HO air hoses
Like I said, more than several, like lots and lots. Sticky glue belongs in this same family. They all appear to be variations on PVA glues!

I have never had a problem with gluing them in place. I think that I have been using canopy glue. Jack Burgess Canopy glue is apparently a form of PVA glue. They call PVA about the same as white glue

There were not a lot of 50 foot boxcars around in 1929
I have never seen that kit but that was my first thought. Then I thought maybe the picture and lighting and shadows. Has anyone actually looked/have/built that kit?
