What preference do you prefer on using dull coat paint, shaker can or air brush and why  I read where some use Krylon 1310 dulling, but when reading Krylon literature it says wipes off .  Cans of Dull coat spray seems to go fast. $$   Thanks Zeke

The prototype car hauled Kymene, a chemical used to give paper that slick look. It was manufactured at our local Hercules plant in Brunswick, GA. There were 5 or 6 of these cars in this service. I made the car from .015 sheet brass that I wrapped around a aluminum dowel turned to size. I heated the brass to soften it. After I soldered the brass, I added three brass bulkheads for strength. I turned the ends on a lathe from a WW2 Liberty ship. All of the fittings are brass except the man way cover.

Looking at Mikes diesel #701 anyone know the green color, it's listed as spruce green? in the down load, can't find ., but I like it. Is there a paint that matches ?  Thanks Zeke

I have six nearly identical Athearn Genesis GP38-2s, all recently converted to Loksound.  The first five run perfectly - very smooth and quiet - but the sixth just went into service for the first time and acts like a completely different beast.  With the exact same sound file and settings as the others, this one is very jerky, and its top speed is only about 10-15 smph vs. 50-60 for the others, leading me to believe that this is more than a need for breaking in.
