First real airbrush project
After my success with a properly working regulator last time, I decided to break in my little Harbor Freight airbrush and shoot a base coat of white on the F7 shell i recently stripped. I made a shortish video detailing my experience and stuck it on Youtube. Video
I really enjoyed my first attempt and will continue documenting my progress as the project continues. If this turns out well, I will be moving on to weather the track on my FreeMoN module and then lay down some dirt color.

Rerailers
When locomotives are equipped with rerailers, would there just be one, or would there be one on each side of the locomotive? I've searched and searched pictures on the net, but just can't find an answer that way.

Help needed with a B.T.S. Craftsman kit
I am building my first laser cut kit.It is Anderson's Pulpwood Yard by B.T.S. I painted it before removing it from the tree tonight, and some of the walls warped. I am thinking of spraying the back with windex and placing some weight on top to flatten it back out. Will this work or is there some other trick I should try. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alan
