8-2 18:43:40 soccrdad30 oh
8-2 18:42:54 rvn2001 You would put the whole chassis in it.
8-2 18:42:29 soccrdad30 if I did, what would I clean?
8-2 18:42:09 soccrdad30 no, I do not
8-2 18:41:42 rvn2001 Do you have an ultrasonic cleaner?
8-2 18:40:47 soccrdad30 and left upside down for a week
8-2 18:40:32 soccrdad30 I took the cap off to oil the gears
8-2 18:40:31 rvn2001 What have you done so far?
8-2 18:40:07 soccrdad30 4-6-0 yes
8-2 18:39:55 soccrdad30 Illinois green set
8-2 18:39:03 rvn2001 4-6-0 Casey Jones?
8-2 18:38:07 rvn2001 What was the wheel arrangement, again?
8-2 18:37:26 soccrdad30 I have had no luck with the Marklin locomotive with the stuck gears, I need to look into that again
8-2 18:37:05 rvn2001 You're going to be a busy guy.
8-2 18:35:45 soccrdad30 I still have 12 buildings I need to make roofs for too
8-2 18:35:09 rvn2001 I'm sure you will.
8-2 18:35:08 soccrdad30 I am sure I can scatter a few here and there but, it will take time
8-2 18:34:20 soccrdad30 I will figure it out somehow
8-2 18:34:12 rvn2001 then.....don't mesh them together... :D :D
8-2 18:34:01 soccrdad30 yep, I agree with you
8-2 18:33:08 soccrdad30 as I mesh them together
8-2 18:32:58 soccrdad30 the buildings I merged together look okay, but I have 6 or 8 other buildings that are the same footprint and kinda look out of place
8-2 18:32:31 rvn2001 That's been my experience too. Some of them are OK but others are not.
8-2 18:31:51 soccrdad30 from the other companies
8-2 18:31:42 soccrdad30 don't fit with the other buildings
8-2 18:31:18 rvn2001 Won't fit together to form a building or don't fit with other buildings from other manufacturers?
8-2 18:30:38 soccrdad30 nice details, but they are too uniform in size
8-2 18:30:06 soccrdad30 Thom, I am having a problem with my Outland business buildings, they don't look like they fit
8-2 18:29:31 rvn2001 You have enough buildings to do.
8-2 18:28:58 soccrdad30 Monday for me... detailing buildings
8-2 18:27:42 rvn2001 I'm only running trains today. I don't have any Z scale projects in the works.
8-2 18:24:56 rvn2001 Yup
8-2 18:24:43 soccrdad30 okay, I am sure the acrylics are easy to clean up
8-2 18:23:43 rvn2001 I use mine once in a while.
8-2 18:22:05 soccrdad30 some of my paints could use it
8-2 18:21:32 rvn2001 The one I have does the job well.
8-2 18:20:58 soccrdad30 I was thinking of getting the Micro Mark mixer
8-2 18:20:39 soccrdad30 it better!
8-2 18:19:49 rvn2001 It must really mix the paint well for that price. :D
8-2 18:19:43 soccrdad30 other than that you have to go to a vortex mixer
8-2 18:18:55 soccrdad30 Badger has one at 3 times the cost
8-2 18:18:14 rvn2001 ...from Micro-Mark.
8-2 18:18:13 soccrdad30 from Micro Mark
8-2 18:18:06 soccrdad30 oops, 10.00
8-2 18:18:00 rvn2001 I've had mine since before Amazon.
8-2 18:17:24 soccrdad30 I saw one on amazon for about 11.00
8-2 18:17:16 rvn2001 It works well.
8-2 18:16:29 rvn2001 I use one from time to time, John.
8-2 18:16:10 rvn2001 It even looks like it will work. It goes in a Craftsman table top drill press. The parts are no longer made so I had to take measurements and decide on one.
8-2 18:15:49 soccrdad30 it is battery operated and you stick it into the paint bottle to mix the paint?
