More New Cars

[ebtbob]

     Here are two more new cars on my On30 empire.   They are made from shortened Bachmann flatcars.   The logs are real wood.   The chain is from A Line.   Cars were given to me by a good friend.

You've been busy...  Looking good!  That's a great idea about shortening the frames. I've been swapping underframes for the new low profile frames on some of my cars, which then leaves me with old frames. So I started to cut them up. When you shortened these frames, what glue did you use to put them back together? I have been using styrene glue with limited success. ACC doesn't hold very well under stress.

Thanks, and keep up the good work. You're an inspiration.

Can you tell us about the outside brakes?

Sorry Guys,

      These two cars were given to me by a good friend.   However,  if I were to attempt this kitbash,   I would use acc glue with accelerator to set the glue up immediately.    I do not think my friend did the cars so I cannot tell you about the outside brakes.

Mark,
For good CA glues look at this stuff from BSI. http://shopmodeltrains.com/model-train-railroads/shop.php/-model-glue-and-adhesives/c_228.html
They make a flexible CA for just your purpose.

Thanks Dave, I'll check it out.

Mark,

       The glue that Dave showed is the stuff I use.   They sell to stores all over the country and put a label on that shows the store's name.   Good glue and the excelorator works very well.
