Darrell, They will stay streached, they won't or may not retract to the beginning shape. It is pretty much a trying to soften them and then allow them to lay straight in order to reuse them.
I have been following your thread with interest, I think I have seen these engines in the 5 to 9 dollar range at one of the local toy stores. What are you going to use for tenders? gale ----- Original Message ----- From: Darrell Smith To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, December 28, 2008 6:59 PM Subject: Re: {S-Scale List} Building structures! Gale, Out of curiosity, just what happens when you pull on the parts while they are hot?

The PBL Seargent sandhouse was straightforward (modified to fit the site). The Arkansas Valley section car house is a good design, but most of the parts had warped, some too badly to be used. The Design Tech section car shed is THE BEST resin kit I have ever seen. If you ever have a chance to acquire and use a Design Tech kit, DO IT. Unfortunately, he no longer does S (and maybe no longer does kits in any scale), but what he did make is spectacularly well done.
