Dad always said he needed two tools, a hammer and a bigger hammer. With reference to the shipbuilders creed, the shorter version is “file to fit,...
Sounds like like Doug gave you the same thoughts... dull coat/clear coat issue (hopefully) that's an easy resolution.... good luck.
I may be looking at too simple of a solution, but... was it sprayed with a final coat of dull coat lacquer? Alcohol has been known to cause that...
Things are pretty quiet in the S Scale board, so I thought I'd add a quick post. While the project is not completely finished, an EMD GP40 DOES...
i understand “LA Awesome” (Awesome Orange) from the dollar store is equally effective compared to the “Super Clean”... perhaps more so, since it’s...
OK... here's new info as promised. "Purple Power" is a brand of a degreasing agent, the purple degreaser MOST used by modelers and the one I'll be...
Im working on the same question, what I've discovered so far is "Minute Man Green Stripper" The other option Im exploring is a common degreaser...

Wondering if anyone has installed scale couplers (Kadee 802 or 808) on an American Model Diesel? If so, were mounting pads required and what size...
I agree, the likelihood of finding the exact detail is unlikely, and scratch build with styrene is a good option. BTS does have the barrel light...
acptulsa, You're absolutely correct! Far from bone stock GP35! Looks like WP had some pretty specific specs they wanted EMD to deliver. I was...
______________ As for the Front end of that particular loco, the head lights where originally Dual Beams on the short hood AND the top of the cab?...
I just uploaded a few recent pix I took... They provide a much better image of the light in question... actually DUAL beams. Care to take a stab...
Acptulsa, Thank you! The info is much appreciated Andy
No worries at all.... I appreciate your reply! Thanks Andy
