Airbrush Air Supply
I am slowly reworking my hobby bench area. As part of that I am thinking about ways to make using an airbrush simpler so that I will use it more then I currently do. (See my post about ultrasonic cleaners)
Ultrasonic Cleaners
I have wondered about Ultrasonic Cleaners and how useful (if at all) they would be in our hobby.
I see them for as cheep as $50 or so (and heading up from there).
Mostly I was wondering if they would make cleaning airbrushS faster or simpler. I find that the hassle of an airbrush causes me to be a bit hesitant in reaching for it as much as I probably should, So anything that makes the airbrush simpler / faster is a good thing.

Where are they now ?
Wondering if anyone has heard anything from Bruce Carpenter who used to have the BNSF Chilli Sub. I know he was tearing down the BNSF and building a new Milwaukee based railroad but that was almost 4 years ago. Not a peep since then that I can find. Also is Rick Rideout still in the hobby ? Been a long time since any pictures or news on his L&N railroad. ---- Ken
white glue
will white glue soften up?
need to make a drastic change to my layout, so that requires destruction. and removal of a good twenty feet of track. cork and code 83 all glued down to plywood, i do not care about the wood, cork can be lost. just trying to save the pico flex track.
thinking putting all under water for a number of days, will this soften up the watered down (1-1 mix of glue and water to thin out the mix) elmers white glue?
or am i just chasing my tail?

Question About Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette: 50-year collection, 1964-2014 DVD
I have a question about this collection.
Can you view the back issues without having to go through the program?
Example: Can I load up a few issues on my android tablet in a pdf format and view them while on a trip?
Thanks.
2021 Trainfest cancelled
Trainfest officially is cancelled per an email circulating on FaceBook and the Trainfest FB page. Also, it is shown on the RRModelcraftsmen site. Not enough staff and too much uncertainty regarding Covid possible issues. If they had the hall and have to cancel again the WISEdivison of the NMRA couldn’t handle the financial hit.
JoeF. Has MRH been notified officially or were you skipping out again in 2021?
Small 4' x 15' Layout that looks bigger than it really is.
Just a little above what I would call small Not Sub Compact, but Compact, but it does look bigger than it is and has what most people want here, multiple trains orbiting around the entire layout
