Model Railroading > Population explosion

After about 15, years I finally got around to populating the station at Sharon Springs. I experimented with "Glue Stick" glue to hold them down. It worked great. I used a tooth pick to place a small amount of glue on the feet bottoms. It is fairly sticky and in only seconds they stayed where and how I put them.

The town of Almost exploded too. Station signs are begining to apear, also. Only Sharon Springs so far but, the signs are printed so it shouldn't be long now. I have a May 2nd deadline. The RR is on a tour. We all know what that means.

We'll have to give that a try at the Golden Gate Model RR club in San Francisco. We have these nuns that keep falling over. I always assumed that they were hitting the sacramental wine.

Once in the habit.....

Ha.

But figures stuck to the scenery with glue-stick are removable, right? Would this be a good way to make intermodal trailers stay put on flat cars without making them permanent attachments?

What? A warbonnet F and no foamers?

The Glue Stick glue can be washed out of clothing. I will eventually want to move some "folks" and I believe it will be easy.

Heck, in 1959 F units were everywhere! I do have some railfans on a builfing roof nearby. I am on my way to our club meeting so I will post a photo of them later.

Those the ones that hang out infront of the adult book store? :)

I've used Elmer's glue stick and one day I tacked a photo to my computer hutch. Months later I wanted to remove it pulled off some of the finish. I have some figures using it, but plan to change to Woodland Scenics accent glue. It says it allows repositioning. Somehow I have two of them so I will try it next. Guess I should try it on the hutch first. :-(

I have used the accent glue,too. The glue stick worked in seconds and the accent glue took longer to "take."
