Not much new to report on the layout. We were in Japan from the middle of December to the middle of January. While I was gone I missed one Ntrak layout and another one we were supposed to have in February got canceled. When I returned home I was happy that I was able to start up the layout and run a train with no problems.
Been trying out a couple of new to me paint brands. The only brand of paint my local hobby shop carries now is Tru-Color so I picked up a jar of white last fall to paint the Sinclair gas station. Did not like this one at all. Has to be cleaned up with acetone and I did not like working with it. Then shortly before leaving for Japan, I got a basic set of Vallejo paints on Amazon. The price is quite good per bottle when buying a set. I have been using these on several brush projects and one air brush project and I do like working with it. For use with the air brush it thins with distilled water. So I will likely be buying some other sets to get some other colors and of course I could also mix the colors to get the one I want. They also offer an additive for use with an air brush and I plan to try that out. I also still like using the Mission Models brand of paints.
