I've just about had it with aerosol cans of Railmatch and Precision paints gumming up, despite my having cleaned them after previous use and stored them carefully in accordance with manufacturers recommendations. They still gum up.

Hi all,
Sometimes even new cans won't spray. I've taken several back to the shop I obtained them from. Cans bought at shows from Precision seem not to have this probelm, so I'm assuming that shop stock is older than the cans sold be Precision.
I've always removed the nozzles from the cans and cleaned them after use. There are still occasional problems with spluttering. Occasionally when I go back to a can I find the pressure has gone and the can won't spray as a result.
I'm another one whu has moved on to acrylic paints, I just wish the range of railway paints was better, instead of having to match the colours I need from whatever name the makers have labelled them as.

Am I grumpy because a) I've had a busy week, b) it's hot or c) there's some proper door handles here?

Hi Jol. I am building a rake of LNWR carriages and I can’t get purple lake paint here in Canada. Would you know the correct mixture for purple lake or the plum. Also I’m at a loss for the correct lining I’m building the ratio models the 50ft arc roof type. Any help would be appreciated. Keith

Hi all,
There was an almost precise match in the range of car paints for LNWR Purple Lake.
Daewoo had this in their range but I think it went into the Chevrolet range of colours and may be discontinued.
I've been looking for the remains of my tin but must have thrown it away.
Cant find it on the Daewoo listing but will keep looking.
Thanks
Phil H
Edit to add - Colour was Daewoo Dark Red which gave a purple/brown finish over Red primer.
Check for equivalent here:-

Phew - have just completed the chassis detailing of a Hornby 156 dmu, slicing off the original lumps and cutting out the individual components, making parts and obtaining spare air cylinders - took 4 weeks of evenings. Now Rapido or Realtrack announce your new British dmu is a 156 - make my day,week,year - the magnum is ready, but in all honesty in all the excitement I can't remember if its chocolate or choc & nut covered - do you feel lucky punks

Hmrs do the transfers I want in 7mm but don't do them in 4mm. Why don't they produce 4mm lms pre grouping wagon transfers anymore. My old pc models sheet is nearly up & I need more LOTS more.

Bought a couple of "N" scale wagons and an "N" scale loco from the second hand stall at club show today, does this constitute a commitment to really small modelling???

Thinks a GE AC4400CW in "Bright Future" would look great pulling CDAs along the riverside ;~)
