Re: A Helix tale, Part 1 The Construction
I feel fortunate that my furnace and water heater are outside of my train room, but I have a water line that runs to the outside spigot that is a little worrisome. I finally decided if it fails,

Jesse,
here is my truck building jig that works for Rio Grande HOn3 trucks. The truck is built upside down with the bolster sitting along the plastic stock. I glue one sideframe to the bolster first

Re: Rio Grande Models trucks
I'd use 5 minute epoxy. It gives you a few minutes working time for adjustments and when cured the bond can't be broken.

you will melt the frames if you use lead solder.
You can use two part epoxy instead if you prefer. It sticks very well.

Hi, Craig,
You might want to get a copy of the 2009 HOIn3 Annual. I wrote the lead article. It was about why HOn3 was perhaps the best scale/gauge combination for modeling narrow gauge
