Does anyone know if accupaint is still in business. I found a website but it looks a few years out of date and I didn't want to waste a long distance call. zThey seem to be the only manufacture that has premixed Via rail blue that is safe for plastics TTFN Garry

Thanks for the info. Everytime I read a posting I find more questions to ask. Garry

This is obviously a part of the hobby I know nothing about since I read all the posts and don't quite understand? Is there a simple primer on line regarding operations. The modular club I belong to spends most of its time trying to get the two maon lines running, Garry

Our office is looking at getting all new Dilbert furnature. Maybe I can convice my manager to go with the "continous tracked delivery system" option;) Garry

We have a group of stores that go under the name YIG (your independant grocer). That is where I found mine. Garry

I don't know If these sets are available outside of Canada but it would seem that they have decided NOT to make one this year. Our HO modular guys say they are good bang for the buck. Especially now when they seem to be dumping the leftover ones from the last couple of years for $69.00. The...
