A bit extreme, but try using a cement made by DAP or USG. Using it would be a trifle expensive and you will have to anchor your track in the bed. I've used it and it works. I had to transverse 30" of sidewalk. Of course, the better half had me tear the sidewalk up the following year. So, my labors should have waited a year.

The product comes in a tube and is used in securing landscape blocks. You can find it at Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. Usually in the paint department with the adhesives.

Another alternative would be a mortar or sand mix concrete bed. You will have to make sure the old concrete is cleaned and etched, at least have a surface for the new stuff to adhere. Personally, I haven't tried that remedy. But, as they say, it looks good in theory. And now there is no need to worry on my garden layout. No sidewalks.

Looking to find parts for the Emmett Kelly 4-6-0. I purchased this train as new old stock from a gentleman who had owned a hobby shop. The engine is missing parts. The brake shoes were missing, and not in the parts bag. And the "guides" for the side rods that attach to the steam cylinder were also missing.

Any ideas where these items may be found? The missing parts do not affect performance of the engine, but do take away from the aesthetics.

Feel free to email me or contact me via PM. Email address should be available if you go to my profile. Or post here.

Thank you.
