Lehmann-Gross-Bahn help please
Hello I have just purchased a LGB smoke generator. It states that it is 5V. My questions is how many amps do I need? I am afraid to hook it up and blow it. Does anyone know what the amps are for this guy?
The product number is BG65853
any help would really be great. Thanks for your time.

Micro-Mark's MicroLux paints
I see that one of MRH sponsors has a paint that is supposed to exactly match the Polyscale paints. Anyone have any experience with it?

N Scale Turntable options
I have been searching online for what my options are for N scale turntables. Building one from scratch is beyond my newbie skills, so I need to purchase. I need three turntables on the main level of the layout:
- Dover NH. It will feed the old 6 stall Dover roundhouse. Trouble is, the 6 stalls are only around 10 to 12 degree arc spacing. So the Atlas turntable with 15 degree positions would not work for me for that one,
- Conway NH. That one could get away with 15 degree positions ok if necessary.

Backdrops, Painted vs. Printed?
Im trying to figure out what the best route to go is. I really like some of the printed backdrops, like the ones from Scenic King and a few other places. It seems to me that the problem would be blending sky. There are a thousand different shades of sky blue which makes me think I would be better off painting. Has anybody successfully blend printed backgrounds together?

CA glues - storage
I have a both thin and thick CA adhesives from different manufacturers and all have very much the same problem. They clog up very quickly so much 80% or more is thrown away.
I have a new bottle of Krazy Glue Color Change (brush on) that I thought would solve most of my problems. But the brush assembly because disconnected from the top and is not glued to the bottle.
At the moment I have three different CA products that I cannot use for one reason or another.
I would really like some advise to help me avoid wasting my meager funds.
