Went to their website….doesn’t appear to be…

Nope, but can be airbrushed without thinning at 12-15 psi. Cleans up with lacquer thinner.

I know…..i have an airbrush….but i rarely use it. It takes longer to clean afterwards than it does to paint…

Thanks

Just about finished the track-through-the-wall situation at Wiegand that I started last summer. Finished the ballast over the last 2 weeks. I plan to add a rooftop sign to the red building on the left…..

Also at Wiegand, this coal dealer on the right at the edge of the layout was the very first (non-tracklaying) project when I switched to HO about 5-1/2 years ago….it hasn’t changed much since then…..



Getting back to work on it….retaining walls have deteriorated so I replaced original floral-foam-covered-with-carved spackle with plywood.

 

This will partially block the view of the stub staging tracks into the closet….whipped up a mock-up this afternoon

Yours is an awesome layout.  You should be proud. (It would be better with steam  :trollface:)

There's a prototype for everything.
If you can't make it perfect, make it adjustable.
DCC is not plug-n-play.

Were you not listening, I said steam!  That's not a steam locomotive!  :trollface:

Looking real good.  This is what I was looking for  today .  I cant believe I found this. I want to build one for my N-scale PRR layout. On my HCD. Did you make up your own plans for it?  I will be following yours. Keep up the excellent work.  Bob.
