Hey Bachmann
Could you tell me what type of glue is safe to attach my Spectrum SD 40-2 horns back on with please I don't want to melt them or ruin finish on the roof

TIA Stevep

Dear Steve,
I'd use either Dr. Mike's super glue or Micro Mark's "Same Stuff" liquid plastic cement.
Apply carefully!
Have fun!

What about more structural locomotive parts? I have a HO scale Bachmann 2-6-0 switcher http://www.040trainsnmodels.co.nz/wp-content/themes/shopperpress/thumbs/Bachmann-56501.jpg
and when I was trying to remove the shell as instructed by the information video on Bachmann's youtube channel, and I noticed one of the cylinder's had come off. The rods are still attached, but the cylinder itself, i.e. the plastic shell that looks like a cylinder, has come off and is now hanging by the rod assembly.

I've noticed it seems to have been assembled with a kind of glue, one that dries to a brown color. What is the name of this glue, and if you don't know the name, what would you advise I use for reattaching the piston shell?
