Do turnouts need to be level?
When a turnout is in a 2% grade does the turnout stay on grade or is the turnout level in all directions with the grade resuming after exiting the level turnout . This would produce a stair step effect where I have 2 turnouts in a 18ft climb.

Stripping a brass locomotive
I am planning to purchase a small sand blaster ans a soft medium to strip the paint off of a brass steamer that I have. I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction with a decent sand blaster and medium. I was thinking fine walnut shells. Please let me know.

Algonquin Railway-Brent Quarry
Hey Everyone here is a few shots of Brent Quarry. I just finished this scene and the hoppers in the last couple of days. Still need a company sign and loads for the hoppers but I would say its 95% done. I used Kevin Kettles weathering techniques fro the inside of the hoppers. It was easy and looks great. Thanks for Looking..
Sealing Wood Kit
Before constructing wood kits I've heard it's a good idea to seal the pieces to prevent warping.
Can you use dull cote for this or is a primer recommended? If a primer is the best way to go, what type is recommended?
Hand of God car
Tonight I was on my way to my first op session (Yes it was fun) when i was stopped by a crossing signal. A CSX train was coming out of the port of Manatee and in it was the "Hand of God" car. Pretty cool to see something reported here first.
