So I've been back to painting locos and rolling stock lately.  I have been using various decals from my scrap box and new sets as needed for a few projects that have been on the back burner.  My question is, 'what is you preferred decal setting solution and why?  reason I ask is that I have been using Walthers Solvaset for a number of years with fairly good results however, I also have been restoring a bunch of older decals using Microscales Liquid Decal Film with very good results so far.  Is there a better decal set out there?  I haven't used Micro Sol

 I am a true believer in the Fast Tracks jigs. I purchased 7 of them over the years,using them to build over a 100 of various types of turnouts. I am currently at a place on my layout,the passenger station throat,where I have a double crossover leading into 2 double slips. I have the jig for the slip switch as I have a need for a few of them. I only have the need for one #6 double crossover. I just can't justify the $150 cost to purchase a jig to be used just one time. Is there a secondary market for these? Maybe a rental,or barter?

Heads up everybody - If you've been looking for decent digital calipers to help out with your modeling, Harbor Freight has some 6 inch calipers which can display in SAE (Standard), Metric and Fractional units for $9.95 (if you get their spiffy monthly circular) or $15.95 just on sale. Either way, it's a nice tool for a good price. I bought two of them this afternoon myself.
