Greetings all,
   I'm in the process of stripping some shells and here is my situation. I'm using Castrol Super Clean but I'm not getting the results I expected. It doesn't seem to work well on factory paint. Now let me say that this stuff is remarkably fast at removing paint that has been applied by me but I have two shells that have been soaking for 36 hours and the factory paint is still holding strong. If there is anyone out there that uses this stuff and can help, I would greatly appreciate the advice.

Thanks in advance,

Tyler

Here is the breakdown of my layout:

Who has multi decks? not yet. My next expansion will be a second level above the mine branch to serve more mines.
How high is each deck? 44"
How deep are your scenes? None more than 2 feet
Do you use a helix or work your way up/down the room? no
Do you use staging? yes
Is your staging hidden or visable? Visible and also used as an interchange
Is your mainline single or double track? Single track with sidings
Do you model a prototype or freelance? Prototype with some fictional elements added in. For instance I model the Athens subdivision of the Chessie System. After the mines played out in the 30's the line was all but forgotten by the C&O. I model it as if the mines were still active and the line was an important link in the system.
Do you model a specific era? Chessie System and Penn Central during the early 70's.
Is your layout continuous or point to point? It's continuous but I operate it as a point to point. Continuous run is for show and for my daughter to run her Thomas train in circles.
How big (square feet) is you layout room/space? approx 342 suare feet

Always pick up that track nail that you just dropped, or you will find it later.......most likely in your foot.
