tru-color paint Phoenix AZ

I recently purchased an assortment of this brand of paint(advertised in Narrow Gauge and Short line Gazette)

Last night I used the clear flat to seal a recently decaled HOn3 box car .It had a reaction to the decal film leaving it "milky" I was very disappointed. I will call the manufacture Monday...but mean while be careful.

MEK Substitute

Tried some, bonds styrene just like MEK

"MEK Substitute" is the name of the product, it replaces Methyl ethyl ketone(MEK), the best bonding agent for sytrene. MEK is being phased out.

DCC ready locos. Speaker suggestions please

Ok, decided that my modular layout isn't going's to be DCC, but have been buying loco's which are DCC ready with either 8 or 9 pin plugs already installed. Planning for the future so I can add what I want when it's available.
