RE: {S-Scale List} 802 coupler boxes,

Since the 802 draftgear is acetal/delrin, none of those. There is supposed to be a cement which works with them, but I am not sure how strong it would be over time (and I believe it is more expensive).I think I'd use a mechanical connection, screwing the draftgear to the styrene if possible.

Re: {S-Scale List} 802 coupler boxes

Hi David -- If you can get your hands on it, Plastruct orange label liquid cement will glue almost any non slippery plastic to any other by welding the pieces. It won’t work on nylon, Teflon, or acetyl engineering plastics, but ABS, regular styrene, Lexan, Plexiglas, and other acrylics are

{S-Scale List} Re: 802 coupler boxes

Dave, Some interesting suggestions for adhesives have been offered but I always put a small screw in addition to ACC when attaching 802s to extensions, which I've done a lot. I grind off the tip of the screw if needed. On some occasions I have simply used a short length of brass wire

As a new member to the S scale group as well as to S scale in General, I'll have a few basic questions that may be annoying the veterans, but important to a Newbie like me (although I've been modelling HO for 40 years!) I purchased some PRS boxcars at Scranton, without trucks. Where is the

Hi Brian -- These were a stock PRS part, and as such are probably available from Des Plaines Hobbies. You should check there... I bought a bunch when it was owned by John Verser and Jerry Porter, and they are the standard roof on my 10’0” IH 40’ boxcars with a 6’ door. Bill Winans I'd

RE: {S-Scale List} Viking roof for PRS 40#39; AAR 1937 boxcar

Another possibility is one of the NMRA famous model railroad PRS cars; some of those came with Viking roofs, and since they are all unprototypical to begin with, someone may be willing to swap you one for a standard roof. I know I swapped one (I think from the Carstens boxcar) to another list

Brian, Welcome to the world of S scale. Sometimes you'll find things where you least expect them and the search is always fun. As for the Viking roofs, try DesPlaines Hobbies, I think they had them in stock. Same goes for trucks for the PRS cars which DesPlaines also bought out. Check them out.
