Afternoon All,
Spent most the afternoon taking down the Christmas things and everything is boxed up awaiting going to the attic (probably next week). Earlier I cut down 2 of Chooch flexible stone walls to fit the WS Risers. I debated what to glue them with and ended up using Gorilla Glue because I was afraid the glue strips would come loose with ballasting on top of them. I clamped both sides of each face and will let them set for 24 hours as the instructions recommend. I'll take a photo tomorrow when dry.
Joe- I'm really sorry to hear about your bad experience. What brand is the applicator? I watched a video several weeks ago where a Brit used 5 or 6 different applicators and did the same project for each, and for the most part it all looked great. I have a feeling that there's a learning curve associated with it just like everything else.
Gary- I use white glue for cork roadbed and then use push pins to tack it down while it dries (needed on curves) then use track nails on the track ties then ballast.
Willie- Great scenes.
Kleiner- Nice photo.
Patrick- I feel your pain. When doing home repairs and upgrades the money just seems to evaporate.
Dave LASM- Excellent job on the 3 MOW vehicles.
Hughie- Nice job on your layout.
Tom- It looks good. I haven't had much luck with doing rust streaking.
I hope everyone has a good night.
