MISCELLANEOUS

We are getting a growing collection of those odd little things that you can't get anywhere else but don't really warrant a page of their own yet. For now they will congregate here.
 

Bachmann Shay

Cab Glazing Set                             £8.50

The standard cab on the otherwise excellent Bachmann Shay is a bit bare with no glazing or window frames. this simple laser cut kit provides wooden window frames, cut glazing already masked for painting and adhesive pads to stick it all in place. Parts for a number of options provided. Simple to assemble and fit yet it transforms the appearance of the shay.

Bachmann Shay

Laser Cut Johnson Bar                   £4.50

The cab interior of the Shay is a bit empty of controls. Add this simple Johnson Bar Laser cut from clear styrene to give its some detail.

Testors Dullcote

Flat finish Spray   

        Sorry but I can only ship this within the UK

This spray flat lacquer is the best there is! I use it on all the engines I paint and weather. All lacquers will dull down chalk weathering but this does it least. Part way through several weathering jobs for customers I ran out and found I couldn't get any in the UK so I imported a supply.

 Its not cheap but it is the best there is.

 

Recently the EU changed the rules on solvents. Whilst not banning the solvent in Dullcoat the rules do limit the proportion it can contain. As a result it is currently not available in the UK and Europe.

In a way it is good news that its an EU rule as the EU is a big enough market to make it worth Testors while to try and re-formulate the spray. They are doing this but there is no forecast date for its availability.

I have lots on order should it become available but with no forecast date I am not accepting orders for it or holding back orders. I will initially announce new stocks in my newsletter so to hear as soon as we have some I suggest you subscribe.

Polirod - Fibreglass Cleaning Stick        £2.30

Use a Polirod to clean your brass and nickel silver parts both before and after soldering. unlike the usual propelling pencil type fibreglass cleaners the Polirod doesn't shed lots of sharp fibres that stick straight in you.

I've used them for years and heartily recommend them.
