Does anyone know a good source to buy Vallejo acrylic paints?  I'm looking for flat railroad colors in the larger 1 or 2 oz bottles and their weathering paints. There are several places listed online and Hobby Lobby is supposed to carry the line, but their supply is limited with many items on backorder. 

Hi all,

I noticed this material at Home Depot and thought it might have interesting applications for shelf benchwork. It looked like it might be particularly useful for double-decks and/or adding under-layout storage. Was curious - has anyone tried or have thoughts on this as a benchwork material? Do any potential drawbacks come to mind? (e.g. load bearing capacity and sagging?)

I'm a little behind in my reading, and I just read the January MRH Online News.  The first story announced the passing of John Glaab.

I did not know John, but many years ago I visited Cass, WV and rode the Cass Scenic Railroad.  I enjoyed the visit and decided to model my town of Ashley Creek after Cass.  John released an excellent kit of the Doctor's House in Cass, and I purchased one.  I didn't have a layout at the time, but I knew when I started building, I wanted to include that kit.

Recently I took possession of a Rapido MLW M420, possibly the best locomotive I have ever purchased. The Scale Trains GE C39-8 I purchased a few months back is also in the same class, FANTASTIC.
