Industry question

Hi everyone,

         I’m planning on having two different types of sand loading on my layout, construction sand loaded by silo or front end loader, and special purpose sand, loaded from a covered silo. I guess what I’m asking is what would a specialize loading plant look like?? I know the loading site would be covered to keep moisture out of the covered hoppers, but I have no idea what the rest of the plant might look like. What should I be looking for??

Thanks, stay safe, Scott ????????

Air brush issue

Hi everyone,

         I broke out my bottom feed air brush the other day, have not used it in about a year. My issue is the gun is not drawing the plaint from the bottle. Would this be a needle position problem or a blockage issue? I did give it a good cleaning today.

Best, Scott

Hi everyone,

          I just finished building some code 70 switches with un weathered Micro Engineering NS rail. I need to paint them, what type/color of paint should I use? And the best way too apply it?

Nce Question

Hi everyone,

     I recently picked up a NCE power cab DCC starter system, and like it very much. I'm starting to program up some engines, the system reference manual is good, but is there an any other programming guides out there? I'm going to ask the my operating group if anyone uses  the NCE system, have not come across one yet. I'm not the most tech savvy person I know!!

Best, Scott

Correct covered hoppers

Hi guys,

I'm looking for info for my 1968 - 1970 era short line free lanced RR. What type of covered hoppers would be appropriate for special sand loading, say for glass making or a similar operation.

Thanks! Scott
