During a livestream on Facebook today, Rapido announced several new products, including the Alco RS-11, MLW RS-18, and Tempo passenger cars (coach, cafe lounge, club car) in HO and the Dash 8-40CM in N scale. The RS-11 and RS-18 will come in several different versions - I think I caught that there would be six different undecorated variations available. Also shown was the packaging for the upcoming N scale Turbo train, an early paint shot of the HO Royal Hudson, and the upcoming N scale 53 foot well car.

Tru Color says it is airbrush ready but when I opened an admittedly old bottle, I would have needed about 100 pounds of pressure to get it to spray. The bottle was new about 3 years ago. I kept it with the cover on tight in a sealed plastic bag. When I opened it the bottle was about 1/3 full and very thick. I was using it on an old project that I don't care about much and wanted to try my new Badger air brush so I thinned it 50/50 with good old hardware store acetone and it sprayed beautifully.

I have a brass Alco D-150 3-unit Gas Turbine. Lead and middle units are powered, with the original motors. I am looking at repowering these units and am looking for suggestions on repowering kits. Thank you.
