Scenery and structures
Retail N Scale structures - not to scale???
So I have been looking on eBay and considering whether to buy there or from the retail sites any structure kits or pre-built structures. I am modelling in N scale.

Adhesives
While looking through a back issue of MR (July 1988, I think), I came across an article about different types of adhesives, and it included a great chart of the different types of adhesives and their usage vis-a-vis different types of surfaces, slow vs fast setting, smooth vs porous surfaces, holding ability and some of the brand names. Has anyone seen an updated version of this chart, or one which is similar?
I also found a reference to a similar article in the April 96 MR, but I don't have that issue.
How long should older automobiles and trucks last?
The 1920's saw a LOT of changes in motorcars--but how long would a car last back then? I'm modeling Maine in the 1920's, and trying to decide what automobiles and trucks to put on the layout. Thrifty Yankees would try to keep the cars running for a long time--but Maine is not friendly to motor vehicles!! Likewise, trucks...
The latest car I have is a 1928 Model A; the oldest is a 1911 Ford delivery truck. Since that's on a Model T chassis, it could have been built later.
