MTH HO Crossing Gates

Have a set of the MTH crossing gates ready to install.  Was wondering if anyone has had any experience installing them.  They will be installed on 1 1/2" pink foam insulation board with cork roadbed and code 83 flex track. 

Any tips or tricks will be appreciated.

What kind of track cleaning fluid should go into the Atlas track cleaning car?

I bought one of these for the vacuum part of the system. But now I want to try to use the cleaning part of the system. Any ideas what would be safe to use in it?

Thanks in advance for you time.

CNC Sherline Mill

Well I finally did it. I got a Sherline CNC mill with CNC rotary table, horizontal conversion table and an 54,000rpm air motor.

Here is all the boxes that got delivered Wensday.

Put it together today. Here it is setup in it's verticle mode.

Horizontal mode "A". Great for cutting tiny gears.

Will White Glued Track stick to BRASS Bridges?

I have three bridges installed. I can remove them but would rather glue the Walthers bridge track with the bridges in place if it wre possible to "spot weld" glue the track to the brass bridges either by dribbling a spot here and there or by sliding a wetted piece of cardstock under the track while still on the bridge(s).

The track mostly stays in place on it's own as the Walthers bridge track is fairly stiff/heavy kind of like an Atlas rerailer... but figured it should be at least tacked down (as in welding) with glue.

Thanks for the replies, and I do understand the concept of downsizing but as an O scaler a mini-layout is out.
