LED Lighting Strips

***Adendum: Please disregard  this OP, in my research with your help here and in been delivered my proper lights...but there are still a few things to wrap up..getting there.***

I've been looking at LED light strip options for my shelf layout. In a perfect world I would have a valance and use my existing IKEA lights but the bulbs keep burning out and come in at $8.00 cdn a pop. So I am going the LED strip route. I prefer the spread of the LED lights and the price point is perfect.

Milling Loco Weights for Decoder Space

I'm sure we've all been there - having to get more space inside our loco shells to accommodate DCC decoders, or in my case RailPro receivers. Usually I've had to take a hacksaw, or port-a-band saw, to those white-metal weights to cut off some height to gain the space needed. Not a fun or easy process. Fortunately I've got a connection to someone with a CNC mill. The pictures & video are posted below.

Acrylic thinning for air brush

I have done some research on Acrylic thinning for air brushing, I am getting a mixed bag of findings..Some swear off using Isopropanol yet I find it as an ingredient in many home made recipes on line...I saw a post on Armor all and how it changed its formula to include isopropanol and Joe says "good bye Armor All"  .
