Hi All,

I looked at best I can locally (Im in Aus) and also though Joes excellent painting guide document and have a couple questions.

No one here is Aus seems to stock C&NW Green - there is a preference for Aus Colours and General Colours.

I need to repaint the roof on some Walthers Passenger cars and looking for best paint mix that represents the CNW Green well.

Hi All, have just purchased a Proto Heritage USRA 0-6-0 which has a missing "bolt" for one of the side rods. I'll Post Photos below. Does anyone know where I might source a replacement or indeed what the size/thread is for these. I tried HO Seeker for an exploded diagram as I haven't yet physically got the loco  to see if leaflet(s) are in box.

TIA

No sure how much this topic has had devoted to this but it strikes me that the typical closed boxcar is a great resonance chamber, my thoughts are to simply put some sort of stuffing into space to "kill" the sound waves and potentially help quieten the unwanted noises. I've posted some images below of before and after. 

I recently acquired a Brass samhongsa loco that appears to be an L4 Mohawk.

The loco came with out the front smoke box cover and my initial measurements come to 29.04mm (measured with vernier gauge) with roughly translates to 99inch in prototype. I also need a tender ladder but that's easy

I have found parts at greenwayproducts.com which have some covers but only seem to have up to 92inch covers.

Can anyone suggest other supplier(s) that may have parts.

This brings new meaning to the "train room computer" - enjoy
