I have read that Floquil Earth is a good match for the tan/cream sides, and Floquil Roof Brown can be used for the ends, doors, ect. Here is a link to the Frisco Allaboard publication that discusses t

I've live in a couple "steam era" houses and can tell you that the structural lumber used in both of them was NOT finished. The floor joists in my current house, visible in my layout room are 2x10's a

Oh great. My wife just picked some up for me in town today. Aaron

"OK Aaron, how did you paint/mask the silver rims?" Chuck Hladik I used a 00 or 3/0 artist's paint brush. Didn't mask anything. Aaron

I added two pictures of a set of the Sunshine tractor kits to the photo section, in a file titled "Tractor loads". Built the kits around 1999, about the time that they came out. They were painted with

I have one of the resent Westerfield 2900 undec, USRA steel box car kits, and would consider trading it. This is a one piece body kit, and comes with door, detail, and underframe parts cast in a lovel
