Larry: Years ago, at the suggestion of an old article in
MR, I believe, I bought a CO2 tank and had it filled at a
local filler. I did add a regulator, with dial, and still have
the original airbrush and tank, and have not yet exhausted
the CO2.
Advantages: Perfectly quiet; no compressor noise
or electricity needed. This means you can use it
any hour of the day or night without the noise bothering
the rest of the household (spouse, etc.). "Just a few
minutes more, honey!".
No worry about moisture, so no trap needed.
I have no idea whether this would be cost efficient today
or comparative costs today, but it might well be worth looking into.
The article still may be available on the archives of MR
mag, or whatever.

This is a little off subject, but I could not think of any better places
to ask,
Could somebody tell me, I have heard that a Nebulizer misting machine will
work for use with airbrushes. Do they work and will it require a
regulator with it. I'm not going to do any detail paint jobs, just want
to use it for weathering, loco's and cars, etc etc.
Any help would be appreciated,
Also these kits you see on ebay with the compressors and airbrush kit's,
selling around 120.00 or so, are these any good? Does the water trap with
the pressure gauge on them, are these a regulator type?
Thanks Gang,
Larry
