I'll have a soundtrack and automatic timing, but it's not working out correctly.  (The timing; the soundtrack seems OK.  IF there's a way to put a PP show on this list, I might share it.

Message: Thanks all for the input.  I have gotten a couple of real good ideas.@Mike - a suggestion, before you pour your alcohol back in the bottles try a conical coffee filter.  The alcohol is thin enough to flow right through, but should catch most if not all of the particulate paint.  Great idea for the wallpaper container - is it the metal one or plastic?Bob C.

Message: The PSC ones are very nice, though yes 1:24. They are scale so if you need the size just take the real length/width and divide.  You would be better off buying the Bachmann ones.  Plus they are much cheaper and lettered for Gramps.  Also the PSC cars usually go for 275-350@ realistically Wed, 16 May 2012 21:35:02 -0500 http://www.largescalecentral.com/LSCForums/viewtopic.php?pid=179033#179033 179033@http://www.largescalecentral.com/LSCForums Topic: SD70 Cost?
