{S-Scale List} Re: cleaning brass
I use glass beads in my blaster I would not advise it though I use Sodium Hydroxide in solution with water to strip paint. I would not advise this either. I use diluted Nitric Acid as an overall brass brightener. This stuff is only EXTREMELY DANGEROUS to mess with if you do not know what you are doing. Mixing it with some acetone or lacquer thinner by accident and it does this burn thing so fast that it's called an explosion. it will make your day, one you won't ever forget! Baking soda is good stuff. I buy big boxes of it. I advise having it handy J. Rustermier --- In S-Scale@yahoogroups.com, Bill Lane bill@... wrote: Cary, Attached is my blast booth. With the very limited exception of crevices the blast booth will clean brass better than **anything** you can soak a model in. the surface you get is smooth to the touch but the paint just grips it. As a testimony as to how clean the brass is you should be painting it within a few minutes of blasting. Touch it and you can hear it tarnish! I don't know anything about using blast BEADS on a brass model. I use 400 grit aluminum oxide. I am actually just about to change it out for a new pile now. It does get pulverized and contaminated after long term use.

{S-Scale List} Re: plastic welding
Mine are welded using a Thermatic process developed originally by an engineer employed by NASA. He, not me, was a very gifted individual and I think over the years has many patents attributed to his work. I feel honored having met him when I was quite young. James Rustermier. --- In S-Scale@yahoogroups.com, Bill Lane bill@... wrote: Ed was reasonably correct. It is ultrasonic plastic welding. In a galaxy far far away I used to work at a company that made plotter pens and ink cartridges. I was the utility set up person. Some of the machines that were on site were injection molding, pad printing, and ultrasonic plastic welders. All machines could have made model railroad items! They also had a small workshop for making fixtures and small repairs etc. That is where I first used a metal lathe. Pad printing was a persnickety beast. The ink viscosity changed by the minute as did the print quality. The pads were a silicone rubber that was creepy to touch. I also made nylon photo sensitive image plates for short run items. Most were an expensive hardened steel plate. The ultrasonic welders rubbed the 2 plastic pieces together so fast the plastic melted together at the contact points. A typical weld was no more than 3 seconds - most were 1 to 2 seconds. There was the frequency adjustment, and a very slight down pressure that pushed the pieces together as it welded. You had to balance between getting a complete even weld that held the ink without leaking and not create too much flash or distort the pieces. It was a piercing high pitched sound when it was a good weld. It was a very loud uncomfortable sound if something went wrong. The later SHS couplers were undoubtedly ultrasonic welded together.

{S-Scale List} S scale kits on eBay
Some guy in Florida is selling these on eBay : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kinsman-12-plus-Wood-Model-S-gauge-Train-Kits/130918980360?_trksid=p2045573.m2042_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D27%26meid%3D8014387166917944667%26pid%3D100033%26prg%3D1011%26rk%3D2%26sd%3D390603739731%26 The really neat part from the photos it appears they are either not complete, and /or missing the instructions. He also thinks the opening bid should be $250 for supposedly 12 kits and the shipping should be $55. Oh such a deal I didn't see any trucks in the kits I've been involved in these things on eBay and have learned my lesson. If they are not all laid out with multiple photos, eBay gives you lots of free photos, then there tends to be a problem. Usually a big problem, as in missing parts!!! I checked the eBay ad Bill mentioned on the READING !-8. The seller has a feedback of 93%. Lots of red negatives. I'll pass on that one so go for it. The seller appears to be an auto parts guy. Not necessarily a bad thing. I was, but not any more, a heavy equipment mechanic for part of my career, and a bad one at that! James Rustermier Yahoo!

{S-Scale List} Re: mason jars for paint
Being somewhat incompetent I have stored my Scalecoat in the Scalecoat jars they are sold in. I've been doing this for years with no problems. Maybe it's the reducer I use, Xylol. maybe it's that I replace the the O2 with CO2 after I open the bottle, or it could be the plasma vortex's around here. I think it's because I make very sure that no lacquer thinner ever comes into contact with the paint, and I make sure that the bottle is air tight when I put the lid back on. That means sometimes I have to make a new gasket The one problem I have had is the no longer available colors, (DRGW Aspen Gold) and I'm also tired of buying the stuff by the box only to discover that the regular black, S10, which should dry to a gloss is instead a flat black. I did cure that by buying a quart of Dupont Centari #99, (Pitch Black). Very odd thing is it is just like Scalecoat, same odor, same reducer, same results. This has actually become a mute point. I thought I might get into custom painting if I tried hard enough. I was charging about $3.25 and hour, I raised my prices to $4.15 an hour but finally gave up on the whole idea. Everybody wanted either a special club price or quantity discounts, you know, ---CHEAPER---. J.

I try to open Scalecoat paint and use the whole bottle in one sitting for the best results. 6+ ounces of paint will cover a LOT of cars. Some of the jars have been here for at least a year - probably more. I just opened a jar and painted a car with great results. I attribute the results to the storing of the paint in the mason jars.

{S-Scale List} Re: GP7 update - last for a while
I had a halve dozen of the Sunset GP's when they first were brought in from Japan. The first thing I did was toss out a couple of the drives and started making my own using NWSL parts. That was back in the last century before Overland came out with the F units. Once River Raisin sold the red-drives I yanked the Overland drives out of my F units and used them to replace the rest of the Sunset GP drives. I opted to make a separate frame for the drive, and solder the hood and cab to the floor with the railing so it was all one piece. I've since sold all of my die-sals's. The last pair were the ones with the unfinished NWSL units. McCoy relieved me from the suffering. Railroads run with steam engines, trucks run with dirty diesels. J.

Im ashpan.clinker and at last look mine was the second thumbnail since I am currently the the second oldest to add,delete, or change an album. Click on your album and you should have an editing bar appear across the top of your album listing the various options to edit. NOW, if you had an album, under a different tag from before. Kiss it all good by. You cant have any editing access to the album. All you can do is look at the photos. Lets say some one leaves the group and one of the owners or moderators decides to remove an empty album. Under the , Mayer Madness System the new format in otherwards. They dont have that option. If you originally set the album as personal instead of group. its all about big time lawyers and privacy rights.Install Firefox as a browser. Most, but not all will then come on under the old format. That is until Yahoo cracks the code for Firefox.Just for fun click on someones album with hundreds of photos, then click on the first photo. When that photo starts to slide around on your monitor click on it again. You ll love what happens. Enjoy the photos and the fun begins when you try to go back!!!

You will then see two sub-topics, one called Photostream and one called Albums. The Albums get the default selection. On the far right you will see the New Album purple button. To its left, however, is a sort-by selection control. If you select Latest First in that field, you will see the photo albums sorted by the last date that they were modified. If you don't want to view the photos by album, you can just see a raw dump of all the photos in the reverse order (i.e. newest first) that they were added, by clicking on the Photostream sub-topic. I don't see Bill's home page photo anymore, which I think is a shame, but I do kind of like the new interface. I am the owner/co-owner of a couple of groups, and I do not see anywhere where the group owner can set the home page photo, so that may be a feature they got rid of altogether. I tried putting HTML code into the group's description of a group I own, to try to embed a photo, but Yahoo stripped that off, so there is no way to do this using HTML coding, either. The messages (now called Conversations) can be sorted by topic, message, or trending (meaning the hotest, most responded to, messages grouped near the top). Adding a new message can be done via the New Topic purple button. Once you click on that, you will see a pop-up window. This window allows you to enter the subject and the message, and apply all sorts of formatting to the text. On the left side of the group of text-massaging icons is a paperclip icon that allows you to attach a file (most often an image file) to your message.

Re: {S-Scale List} REX drivers
I have no plans on selling the drivers. The best option would have been to buy
the 51 drivers from Dan at River Raisin when he imported the USRA 0-6-0's. Any
one that has the REX Mogul or the Suburban, which use 57 inch drivers, your
best option right now would be to order 57 in drivers from Dan before he
finalizes his order of Moguls from Boo Rim.
This does mean that you would have to push one driver off of each non geared
driver assembly and slide off the journals that come installed from Boo Rim.
Then replace with a round bushing to bring the axle diameter up to 3'16 inch
from the factory 4.0 mm. You may even be able to buy the gearboxes from Dan.
Every one should understand that even if I sold the parts, or Dan sold the
parts, or any one else sold the parts, The cost is going to be in the $300
range just to do the conversion from a Pittman permag motor with a worm and
worm wheel to a can motor with an idler gearbox with code 110 drivers instead
of the older code 125 drivers. Driver sets run $80 to $100 a set assembled to
your needs and that NWSL gear box, if even available is now in the $50 range.

Â
I am using driver centers that I made. Some of the driver tires I made and
another local S scaler made some of the driver tires.
I am making the gear boxes from flat brass #360 bar stock. I purchased some
of the NWSL Mod 5 gear boxes that have a 3/26 axle size. That is the size of
the axles used in REX. These gear boxes will not fit the frame of the REX
with out making a huge hole in the frame so I will not use the NWSL box. The
box I am making fits the opening already in the frame. Installing code 110
drivers instead of the code 125 drivers means all of the other mechanism
parts; side rods, main rods valve gear,and crosshead guides do not need any
kind of modification to accept NASG standards driver sets.

Re: {S-Scale List} REX drivers
I've purchased many products from North Yard in NZ. Mostly the diesel drives for SW, NW and RS's. They have excellent products! I'm not a fan of plastic driver centers and nickle plated brass driver tires though. About 12 years ago I used some of Alan Gibson's (England) plastic driver centers as masters and then cast them in brass.

I bought drivers, axles, and bearing blocks ( that happen to fit into the 040 frame perfectly from a company in New Zealand for about $10 plus shipping. All that remains is to fabricate a motor mount for a can motor and buy a NWSL gearbox to get the job done. I got this solution from one of Bill Lanes Buddies, but since I am so old now I can't remember his name My biggest problem will be to find someone to quarter the drivers for me. Thanks for the reply.
