Primer

Mon, 2014-06-09 04:30 — Jure Sporn

Hello,

I purchased a plastic kit and I want to paint it. It has a shiny plastic look. My question is, should I paint it with a primer first or just apply a paint without primer?

Thanks.

Flo-stain question

Sun, 2014-06-08 11:21 — Mycroft

Score - found 2 bottles of driftwood at the train show today.  .60$ apiece....  That gives me still 2.5 bottles of flo-stain.  But driftwood is so light.  The half bottle is a darker color.  How well does Flo-stain mix?  Also, does it mix with anything other than flo-stain?

 

Soundtraxx Tsunami "coast" throttle cut-out feature

There has been a lot of discussion on various threads about the recently-discovered Soundtraxx Tsunami "coast" feature/workaround. I outlined it in detail in the Allagash Ebooks - how to program it in, how to use it and the advantages of using it. In summary, diesel operations have been taken to a new level if you use Tsunami decoders. Frankly, it would be great if this became a feature of Tsunami and LokSound decoders, WITHOUT having to go through this workaround.
