Gary, Have you contacted any of those hobby shops yet? If so, good results?
I purchased some from my LHS recently. Kevin does ship. Happy Hobo Trains: (813) - 908-5072
You want to change into The Hulk when, after telling someone you're a model railroader they respond with "Oh, that's cute! I didn't know you played with trains!"
Loathar, Ken, Thanks for sharing the info with us. I'm interested as I've been looking for a couple of "difficult-to-find" Walthers structures that were retired a few years back. I just joined. Is there a "Feedback" type system or rating that similar to ebay's so that we may be aware of unscrupulous sellers?
Wow! That is a bit alarming. I can understand restrictions for large quantities of industrial or automotive solvent based chemicals...........but hobby paint? Good grief! Texas, of all places? If true, a sign of the times we live in. I use acrylics for the majority of my model painting, however, for metalizing passenger cars Scale Coat II is my top preferred choice. Contact Scale Coat directly at this link and ask customerservice@weavermodels.com They're pretty good at responding. Please when
Garyla, Contact them again and ask them if they could give you names of hobbyshops that they ship their Scale Coat products to in a state bordering Texas such as Lousiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, or New Mexico. Then, contact one of those hobby shops to see if they'll ship you the paint. Imho, worth a try
I think it was 1991. I video recorded an episode of "Tracks Ahead" with Chuck Zaner (r.i.p). This particular episode featured Walthers facility in Milwaukee. For me it was amazing seeing the workers pouring chemical solutions in fabricated molds, and afterwards popping out HO scale building walls, roofs, etc and quickly packaging them. Also seen is the manufacturing of freight cars. In one scene a worker holds down an HO coal hopper shell, an automated device decends on the cars sides and
[quote user="tomikawaTT"] Antonio, why does it bother you to see cars wobble? I recall a video of Conrail operations (taken in the mid-'70s) where the freight SLOWLY pulling out of a yard looked like a WWII convoy putting to sea in the teeth of a NorEaster. If it had tried to run at typical model track speed there would have been cars all over the countryside... I don't follow the RP religiously, but I will add weight to anything that acts up. Several of my passenger units are not
Proper car weight is very important to me. One of the facets of model railroading that I find so annoying is watching a video of a nicely weathered, realistic looking freight or passenger train cruising by..........then seeing some of the cars wobble as they hit rail joints. Ugh! Ruins the video! Have seen several like that on YouTube. I've emailed more than one modeler and politely suggested that weight be added to those "wascally wobblers". I had one of those spring loaded postal
Great suggestions from Modelmaker. They do work as I've used several methods for adhesion promotion. There is a "poor man's" option that can be applied on delrin truck side frames. With a toothbrush in good condition, pour a small amount of Comet or Ajax scouring powder into a small puddle of water in a dish (2 to 3 ounces). Stir the mixture into a paste and scrub the truck side frames with it. Rinse off, dry and check carefully for any slippery areas. Scrub again as needed, gettting
