I was given a sheet of styrene (.080) about 4' x6'. This is a great score but.....it has had some sort of contact cement applied to one side. I find that rubbing with my fingers removes the glue but this would be incredibly time consuming to clean up using only fingers. I tried a corner with spraying WD-40 (recommended by a friend) which work fairly well at removing the glue but left a funky film on the styrene. Does anyone have a recommendation on how I might remove this glue?

Dear MRHers,

Was musing to myself about the history of proto RR photography, and the early colour-photo era. The use of "Kodachrome" film brought a very definite colour reproduction and impression to many railfans, and by-extension to modellers.

Knowing as we do that Kodachrome had a distinct "look" (whether that was accurate when compared to a Mk1 eyeball of a human standing trackside is an acknowledged variable),

I have recently installed a nine stall roundhouse and turntable with five auxiliary tracks.  I'm using cinders for ballast in the yard/roundhouse area. I was wondering what material to use between the rails (ballast?) and at the far end from the turntable (concrete?), and the area between tracks. Any Ideas?

I'm looking for someone who might have the dimensions of the Union Railroad's sand filler extensions that are used on their MP15DC's.
