Ed, It is not about belief. It is about scientific fact. Period. As I said in the previous thread, you would have to seal the paint booth and volatilize the ENTIRE contents of a 2 oz paint jar to even

Jim, I'm puzzled by your question. The instructions are in the files of the SnT group (https://groups.io/g/shake-n-take), as are some additional helpful resources. 2015 - https://groups.io/g/shake-n-t

Ed, The type of motor is irrelevant. The reality is that the vapor is never present in sufficient concentration to burn or explode. You could theoretically airbrush with an open flame and it would not

Mark, We've had this discussion previously and proven quite conclusively that there is no concern with this. I suggest that you check the archives and stop promulgating this inaccurate statement. It i

Charlie, I must also paint more, as my filter is FULL of paint! As for exhausted, or at least very tired paint? It depends on the length of the exhaust. My 6' exhaust has shown no tendency to vent pai

Ben, Oops, Got it! I'll be deleting my original comment now 😉 Bruce

SPARKLESS....effing autocorrect!

We've been over this before, but "sparkles" fans are NOT needed for a paint booth. The concentration of flammable agent is never high enough. Just get the highest capacity bathroom or kitchen vent fan

Clark, It looks like they have interchange data, lower left. The photo quality is such that it is hard to see! Regards, Bruce Smith Auburn, AL

Claus, Those look like early wood chip cars. Regards, Bruce Smith Auburn, AL

Garth, The teeth gnashing, at least from myself and several others that care about tank cars, was that RC choose such an oddball prototype instead of doing a common car. If they had picked the UTLX X-

Fenton, So... opaque is good... perhaps you mean transparent? 😉 Regards, Bruce Smith Auburn AL

The flat car is a likely a PRR F30E Regards, Bruce Smith Auburn, AL

Ed, PERFECT! Thank you! Cable reels, made of steel, were clearly in use as of June 1, 1944 (the date of the newspaper story!) Regards, Bruce Smith Auburn, AL

Schuyler, The decals are freaking awesome! (One reason to look for more) Most of them are in a semi-circular arc. They are black, with some duplicates in white. Symbols are also included for some. Gen

Guy, Thanks, but I think I still need to clarify. I'm talking about cable reels, made of steel. I have LOTS of support for cable reels made of wood for the WWII era, but I'm curious whether cable reel

And to add to Ben's comments, not all X29s are alike. The first two cars are from the 1928-30 production series, with a Youngstown door, long upper door track and single, low door stop. The 3rd car is

Likewise and to make it more complicated, cable can be called "wire rope" 😉 What I am interested in are the reels, made of steel, that carried cable or wire. Regards, Bruce

Folks, I have some questions about Cable Reels as loads for steam era freight cars. I have a Sunshine PRR G27 gondola kit that was packaged with a kit for 18 steel cable reels. I model 1944. When did

Ben, Cool and yes, not "BALLAST"... definitely my brain jumping to conclusions there 😉. Regards, Bruce Smith Auburn, AL
