me too! I never knew that!

I want to glue some things to my layout; but have them be removable. Things like track through a bridge, roofs on structeres, a bridge on abudments or trestles, etc. Is there a glue that stays tacky no matter how long it remains on a surface?

I recently came across some dry transfers of these that I had bought for my HO layout; but never had a chance to install them before a sudden move forced me to disassemble it and start over in N scale. So, the dry transfers are in HO scale, would I still be able to use them on my N scale layout?

can this be sanded?train97 :confused:

I use an off-white color by Delta called "Raw Linen" for mortar on some of my buildings.

I'm using 3 of these, but I lost 1 of the screws that are used to connect them together. Can I just use 1 screw?

I use both white glue and the WS FOAM TACK GLUE; and am satisfied with both. If only WS didn't make their bottle hard to squeeze the glue out of, though!:curse: I take the top off, and apply it with a paintbrush.

can I use this to glue itself to itself? I have an Atlas bridge that I accidentally broke off one of the trusses. I glued it back on, but I accidentally broke it off again at the joint?:oops: or should I use CA?train97

The proper kind of mask will run you about 20 to 30 dollars, which may seem a little expensive, but that's how much you pay for about 10 bottles of...

sorry, but I've read that dust masks are for dust, and you should ALWAYS use a respirator when airbrushing-unless you do it ouside-no matter if you're using solvent-based paints, or water based. And if you're using solvent-based, also wear gloves. And, no matter which kind of paint you use...

can someone reccomend an in expensive one? I know I can't use those disposable dust masks from HOME DEPOT, LOWES, etc.

yea, I remember reading an article in MODEL RAILROADER some time ago about that one about making the hopper or gondola loads out of it.

brush holder a tip that I learned YEARS ago, in the directions to a plastic model kit, is to use a plastic or wood snap-type clothespin as a brush holder to clean your brush in turpentine, or a container of water. Then you can suspend the brush in the container, leaving your hands free. One...
