NOT FOR SALE

While looking through a bunch of my stuff tonight, I came across an interurban I bought for my wife back in the day when I was making decent money in I.T. She was a fan of and often rode in Chicago, North Shore, and Milwaukee Railroad cars. I got this brass 404-406 Series interurban that was imported by MTS Imports, Inc. for $295 and just found an undecorated one that went for $365. Of course I don't know if decorated adds or decreases its value but since my wife will never let it go, that is a moot point! But it sure is gorgeous!

  Picked up Rust and Chipping Effects from Vallejo, Has 6 colors, chipping medium and matt varnish, The colors are great and really like the matt varnish.

I'm working on an On30 Cache Creek caboose model that looks like it is 3D printed. The 2 long walls are both warped. I am pretty sure I can dunk these in some hot water and take the warp out.

Question is how hot should the water be?

How long in the water?

And how heavy of a weight do I put on it?

Thanks,   Jack

Hi All,

I recently purchased a used Bachman On30 coach lettered for Denver Rio Grand Western and was planning on repainting to my own road.   I just noticed that the lettering is very thick, so they don't appear to really be decal, but probably just thick paint...  Do I need to use a paint stripper to remove these letters, or is there a better/easier way?  I was hoping not to have to go that route...

Suggestions?

Thanks.
