    air brush

    I would like to paint some buildings and other things using an air brush. I have seen a testors product that has a can of compressed air with a gun that attaches to the top. Does this work, and is there any other similar product that the gun is not attached to the can?

    tender wires

    I have a model power mikado and one of the wires on the tender had pulled off. I re-soldered it but it is still not getting any power from the tender. Also is there a connector that I can put on the wires so if they get tugged on the connector comes out instead of the wire pulling off.
