Poster Putty Tip

Mon, 2014-01-06 08:36 — RCarignan

I had to chuckle reading Dave Dexter's tip for using poster putty to hold little screws. We've been using that trick for years where I work, but with wax.

I'm a surgical technologist working in a hospital's O.R. The screws we use for cranial and jaw fixation are very small: they have a 2 to 3.0mm head and length from 1mm and up. We often use sterile bone wax (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_wax) to hold troublesome screws on the screwdrivers.

Weathering a box car

Mon, 2014-01-06 06:43 — Alemdl

Hi all,

I would like to share a couple of pictures of my first weathering work. Since it was my first try, I took an old Mehano box car to practice.

Any comment or suggestion will be really appreciate.

problem viewing on a tablet

Sun, 2014-01-05 16:01 — mhampton

I have an Android-based tablet that has no trouble downloading the .pdf for an issue of MRH, but all that is displayed with my Adobe reader are gray pages. I have downloaded .pdf files from other sites and have no trouble viewing them. Any ideas?

Lumber loads for center beam flats.

Thu, 2014-01-02 16:05 — wcrails

In a back issue, I believe it was July of 2011, I seen an article on lumber loads for center beam flats. The author had downloads you could print for HO and N scale. I tried to print the HO scale, but it wasn't right. Is there specific instructions for printing items from the mag. that the author offers for downloading?
