Difficult Spikes
Sounds like you got a mislabeled larger spike pack by accident. I would sort the pile as you go - just put the larger ones aside. Email ME. Possible take a pic of both kinds. John

Bill, I have some stain that is 40+ years old - shoe dye in denatured alcohol. Still works fine. When the solution evaporates some, I add more alcohol. John Massura

Railline Box Cars and Grandt Stirrup Steps
Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t both the Grandt Line steps and the Railline boxcar styrene? If so, a drop of MEK or Testors should do the trick. John
