    The E-L , EL

    I model the D&H but I do run a couple of EL E-8s (nos 816, 820) with my D&H passenger trains from when they were on lease/lend to the D&H. BTW Tom, I'm also in Glens Falls, NY.

    Stripping Tamiya Acrylic Paint from a Plastic Model

    91% Iso alcohol will remove the acrylic paint and won't harm styrene plastic which I'm pretty sure is what that bus is made of. 91% isopropyl alcohol is safe on all plastic I'm aware of including styrene, ABS,and resins.

    Problems with Microscale decals

    I would coat th decals with Microscale's Liquid Decal Film. This stuff works great for rejuvenating old decals. I would also order directly from Microscale's webpage, you get them faster and they only charge actual postage.

    NCE Power Cab

    About the only capability that NCE doesn't have is the ability to run DC locomotive, the OP isn't going to miss anything of his Digitrax system.

    Tru Color Airbrush paint...

    As with any paint your going to airbrush with, the ratio of paint to thinner doesn't matter, what matters is the consistency. What you want is the consistency of milk, somewhere between skim and 2%. Whether that takes 10 or 20% thinner doesn't matter.
