Very impressive work. It inspires me to be a better modeler. Thanks for taking us for the ride.

I've worked for a small paint manufacturer (+/- 20m in annual sales) for the last ten years and have never seen the cost of raw materials increase so rapidly. That's if we can even get them. Just the cost of a one gallon metal can has risen by over 50% in the last 15 months. Unfortanetly those...

I don't purchase anything on Ebay without first checking the sellers feedback. It doesn't matter how bad I want the item, if the seller has less then 99% positive feedback or consistent bad feedback I won't buy from them.

I just wanted to say hello and give a small introdution. My name is Tom and I live in South Carolina. I have experienced a renewed vigor in my interest in model railroads over the last year and have been lurking in the forums for about the last 5 months and have really enjoyed the posts and...
