Static grass applicator
Recently I came across a static grass applicator on e-bay. This unit is manufactured and shipped direct from China. It sells for $39.98. Has anyone ordered one of these units, and if so have you been satisfied with it?
Acrylic over solvent or vise versa
It has been a while since I painted a loco or passenger car. Can you airbrush acrylic over solvent or solvent over acrylic. I know one works and the other creates a mess. I don't want the mess. Please advise.

1900 models - 66' gondolas
Some time ago I built five such 66' gondolas of Lake Terminal Railroad that were built in 1899 for shipping of new milled 60' girder rails. Models are in HO-scale.
Temporary Wire management
While I'm wiring under my layout I want to keep everything neat and organized. When I'm done I use cable ties, but while it is a work in progress I still want things kept kind of together.
BEMO gear-drive switch motors
Can anyone help? This question came to MRH World Headquarters:
A friend from a MRR Club had a hobby shop in Germany. I picked up some small, gear driven, DC motors made by
BEMO, model # 4225 (currently 4425-000) from his estate and am attempting to use them to control the points on some N Scale Peco turnouts.
Taskboard for Tie Strips
I know Michael Rose has used Taskboard for tie strips and I have had some cut out by a local laser guy.
The question I have is how does this stuff stand up against ballasting with water based glue. Will it warp?

Railroad Prototype Modelers - Valley Forge, March 2014
I attended the RPM-Valley Forge meet last weekend in Malvern, PA and had a great time operating on local layouts, meeting with old friends, making some new friends, reviewing some great models on display, and taking in several informative presentations. The weekend of concentrated activity has recharged my model railroading batteries! I snapped several images with the iPhone to document techniques and ideas and posted a few below. I encourage other attendees of the 2014 RPM-Valley Forge event to post some of their favorite photos from the meet.
