Air brush issue

Tools, tips and tricks

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

Scenery - Structures

Well, as Robbie Burns said "the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry". I still have not finished my Period Miniatures railroad depot kit because the roof came out really bad, did not even fit properly and I have had to build a new one from scratch. Shingles on that now finished and just painted under the eaves, still to install the roof assembly on the depot walls.

Starting an Intermodal Yard on my Trenton Subdivision in N Scale

Fri, 2019-12-27 08:43 — Roger Litwiller

Comments/suggestions wanted. Taking advantage of some "free" time over the holidays, I have roughed in the area that I planned for an Intermodal Yard on my layout. I have several trailer units that I have custom built with various Canadian transport companies. I take a photo of the prototype, then crop out everything except the trailer side.

The Texas South East is a fictional freelance HO scale switching layout based on Lance Mindheim's series of books on small switching layouts. I started this layout about 9 years ago. Currently rebuilding in its third location and configuration. Details, photos, etc. forthcoming...

I have a new train set, a plastic north pole express that I judge to be N-scale, came with a steam loco, coal tender, and two passenger cars. More later!

Design Input Needed - Small, Pre-WWII, Shelf Layout

Tue, 2019-12-24 16:10 — RyanAK

While continuing to research and plan for the White Deer & Loganton ‘A Full Day of Trains in Loganton, 1907’ or the grander Williamsport & North Branch / Eagles Mere RR ‘Tanbark, Clothespins and Parasols - Sonestown, 1910’ layouts, I thought I’d work out a more modest undertaking to get something built and hone my skills. And see some trains run.

Cascade Sub: Up the Hill (Benchwork and Subroadbed)

Tue, 2019-12-24 10:36 — johncaff22

This holiday season marks the fifth year of construction for the Cascade Subdivision railroad, and a project started many years ago has eluded my attention since: completing the track work to Klamath Falls. I originally constructed the spline roadbed in year two, however neglected completing the project for whatever reason. As Oakridge and the rest of the lower deck await scenery, it is time to bring the rest of the line up to speed starting with completion of the benchwork and subroadbed.
