Adjustable benchwork ideas?
I was wandering in Office Works about an hour ago and came across some adjustable desks, they were $500 each which is a little expensive so I decided to search online and found some frames for $320AUD which is much more reasonable.

Where do these crazy ideas come from?? #toungeincheek

Removing CA from clear glazing
Hi,
So I screwed up! I have a nice new Walthers Dome Car and thought, "wouldn't it be nice to put some LED strip lights inside the roof?". Problem is, I used CA glue to get the wiring to stay put. Bigger problem: I put the roof back on before the CA was totally dried and the fumes clouded the clear glazing of the windows. Is there any way to clean off the CA from the windows and restore them to being clear again? If not, does anyone know if Walthers sells replacement glazing for the full dome cars? Thanks!

Other uses for non model railroad things
You never know where you might find something that can be used in model railroading. Case on point, these plastic food containers, that my wife has some of her desserts in. Make great small parts storage. Or paint mixing trays. Or.......

Soundtraxx Tsunami 2 trade in question
I took advantage of trading in two of my older Tsunami sound decoders in their June deal. Followed all the instructions and mailed them to Soundtraxx and tracking shows they were received in early July. You had to have them postmarked by July 20th. My $5 check to cover shipping has not been cashed as of yesterday. Anyone still waiting for their Tsunami 2 decoders?
Thanks!

I am very pleased to see American Limited, Athearn, Atlas, Bachman, Blair Line, Bowser, Con Cor,Micro Trains, North American Railcars (PWRS), Rapido, Scale Trains, and Walthers advertise (subsidies) here.
It has been my long grumble that in particular Intermountain Railway but also Exact Rail, Tangent, Accurail and others who are mentioned often in the posts are not represented in the Sponsors Listing.
Enough said?
OK....
Remember that I vote with my dollars and am usually silent about who I buy from.
