Bob mentioned trying to buy a pint can of Di-Sol. I don't think you can buy
it in pint cans. It is not listed in the Walthers catalog or web site. I bought
my last pint can of Di-Sol many years ago.

Ed, I remember you taking me to that shop many years ago. He did have
a good stock of items at that time.
Houston used to have several good shops but death and illness took two
of them. I went shopping for a pint can of Di-Sol but haven't been able
to find one. One 'gentlemen' who once owned one of the stores (Bellaire
and Houston Roundhouse), does journey back here for major shows. Last
year his series of tables were fairly near our modules. He came over to
me and pretty much cursed S scale also. I didn't know how to respond at
the time, nor do I now! Maybe we looked too good! However, we will be
back in the same place at this coming train show in February.
