I don't have an operating airbrush, and do all of my rolling stock painting using (gasp!) rattle cans. My spray booth for this work looks remarkably similar to my garage. All of my prep work, even the rattle can shaking, takes place in my basement, and the painted models are immediately brought inside after paint application, but the actual painting takes place in the garage. Yes, the basement does get a little hint of spray paint aroma sometimes while the paint dries, but nothing obnoxious.

Wire a layout with power feeders on both rails on blocks and insulated joiners on both rails with a DPDT switch can you run a layout on DC or DCC by throwing the switch? Will this cause problems if so what are they? Is there a work around for the problems?
