I have heard that you can add something to the paint/thinner mix to slow down the drying of the paint as you airbrush, and that would help give you some more time when you are finished painting to start cleaning. Is there anything to that?

I was inside the Lehigh Valley roundhouse today, there were 3 2-8-0's there. The crew was trying to figure out what was wrong with the closest Consolidation while the rest of the crew was having a checker match. This is a new roundhouse with a rolling roof to allow the crew to work with...

The wife came to me the other day saying she wants my side of the basement where I have a 10x16 O shaped layout, a shelf layout with 75 switches. After a week of grumping around Mike, my neighbor, stopped by and suggested that I offer to take down 2 sides of the layout as that would leave me...

I was only able to make one layout on the layout tour today, sick as a dog. Decided to go to the Pennsy Middle Division. I have heard of it and had seen it in Model Railroader but had never seen it in person. It is really impressive, my video doesn't do it justice...

I should have posted this here, rather than on the other page. I just got a mini DV 808 camcorder, it is the size of a keychain car control, the type you use to unlock your car. It fits on a flat car with no problem I was amazed at the quality of the picture and the sound...

I recently got a mini DV camera on Ebay, from Hong Kong, I wanted to use it on the Old Colony Model Railroad Club to make videos from the engineers perspective. It was a lot less money than all the other camera I have seen AND it had HD video and sound! It came in last night so the first...

It is the end of the day and my LVRR switchers are returning to the yard. Notice the leased Pennsy, also you can tell this is 1976 by the Conrail switcher you can see a corner of. Please ignore the duct tape holding a building together, it was not easy for the workers to get that giant piece...

Here is the only known video, at least on YouTube of the A&D Toy Train Museum in Middleboro Mass. It was a huge place with all scales and a really big Lionel Layout. My boys and I visited it in 1990. The video is a bit shaky as the VHS tapes are 22 years old, amazing they still work. :)...

At the Old Colony Model Railroad Club (OCMRRC.org) we model the Post War New Haven. We currently don't have any corragated buildings on the layout as I have been told they are too new. I wanted to do a kitbash of a superior bakery with a corragated section. Would there have been...
