If you use FoamTack the rails won’t move in 5 minutes but can be removed with hot water. No pins, no latex caulk, nothing.
I use Woodland Scenics Foam Tack, spread very thin. It dries in about 5 minutes in a warm room, and can be removed by soaking with warm water....
Stopped by my local hobby shop and noticed the paints had six of each color, a nice selection. They were all there last year too. So, I went to...

Why do they have per diem rules? Storage. Many companies actually eat the per diem costs to avoid having to build a storage facility. Plastic...
The railroad I followed made a boo boo once and picked up tank cars without being cleared. The hoses were still attached underneath.

Five weeks because it takes a long time for glue to dry, an integral part of the process. The blobs are from the depths of time, before club...
Plinking: The sound that an incorrectly soldered joint makes when you clean the rails with a Brite Boy.
