Model Railroading > Kadee running boardsDate: 01/13/17 06:05 Kadee running boards Author: ALCO630 Does anybody have any suggestions on what kind of adhesive to splice them together with or what they're made of? I'm running out of things to try.

> I'm running out of things to try. Kadee sells car parts including running boards for moderate prices. They have an advantage over brass in that the are closer to scale thickness.

The problem is I need them to be 34 feet so I cut them down and am having trouble splicing them back together. I'm converting 2 bay offset side hoppers to covered hoppers for sand service similar to this.
