Am I likely to encounter any problems if I mix code 100 and code 83 or
code 100 and code 70 rail. I see that you can get transition track but
what does this constist of, I assume a piece of straight tack but how

My Paasche D500 compressor arrived today.  Airbrush not delivered yet.
The compressor has a pressure regulator and moisture trap installed.  No
tank.  Do these compressors run all the time they are plugged in?  Or do
they shut off when they reach pressure?  If they run constantly ...

The fully assembled test shots of the Trainorama OHG/GHG and NHG/FHG/IHG
guards vans have arrived and are now on show at Tom's Hobbies at West Ryde.

I purchased a box lot at a swap meet that had half a dozen or so Peco
switch motors. On all but one the rod had been cut short.
I figure with a sleeve made from a metal tube and another piece of rod I
can fashion an extension and epoxy it together.

Lima or Hornby, which is the better model?
Why?

   I just checked out the general interest forum at the MR site. Wow! It
looks like RMR a number of years ago. Lots of posts and interesting threads.
