Temporary adhesive?
I'm looking for a fairly strong but temporary adhesive (meaning something stronger than Post-It note adhesive) to hold some styrene on some blue foam while I do some work.
It can't be something bulky like Funtack.
Any ideas? Thanks.

New to the forum - here's my track plan
Hi guys-
I am new here and wanted to share some things. I've been away from MRRing for more than 35 years, and more and more over the last few months, I've been getting the itch to re-enter the hobby. WOW! Lots of new stuff to learn, but more importantly, there are more resources (thank you, Internet...).

Buildings from signs
I have been using snipe signs as temporary structures for a while now so i thought I would share a few pictures. For those unfamiliar with snipe signs, they are also called bandit signs, Buy Your House signs, Sell Us Your Car signs, We buy Junk Car signs, etc etc. Where I live they are considered litter and can be removed from the side of the road by anyone. So I do.
Here is an example. This will be Carbitt Paint. A spot for tank cars, 2 loading door spots and a spot for covered hoppers.

Elsmere Jct
While I haven't been posting, progress has been made on the W&N. the latest focus has been on the Elsmere Jct. portion of the railroad.
Below is a schematic diagram of the initial phase of the layout construction. Elsmere Jct is in the SW corner of the room, just outside Wilmington.

Is this the answer to N Scale coupler slinky bounce ???, I think so.
My son and I have pondered an N Scale layout, but my enthusiasm was held back by the coupler/car slinky bounce, it just spoils the illusion.

the Atlin Transfer
Hello everyone, Welcome to my blog on this site. I model a freelance prototype in 1:29 scale called the Atlin Transfer.My main interests are industrial switching and modern short line modelling.
Presently, I am in the process of building a paper mill complex and warehouse facilities.
Building in 1:29 scale has been challenging and extremely rewarding at the same time.I will have a few pictures in the future to show the progress of the railroad.

Building A Piece Of History Now: Thurmond West Virginia-Backdrops 10/29
I am working on a design for a small scene for demonstrating scenery and track work for out model railroad. It will be small (roughly 1ft. x 1ft. with the front curving) I am looking for design ideas and what an interesting scene would be. Any ideas from those on here?
Thanks for all of your suggestions everyone. Thurmand seemed like a good location and the below area is what we will model. It will include a cantilever signal seen on the right and the three buildings as low relief background structures.

IAIS's West End - A 45-tonner for Harlan Elevator
The 2-mile-long Atlantic Spur has long been a bit of a thorn in my side. Its location puts it in an aisle on my layout, so I've never been able to really do it justice, only modeling about the first 30" of the spur. Which means I've never been able to model ADM's Harlan Elevator at the end of the spur (see http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/18055 ).
