I have a Lionel Post War 132 Passenger Station. It has a burgundy plastic platform. This platform has a melt mark perhaps indicating it might be polystyrene plastic. It also has a crack I would like to repair with glue. Styrene glue would be ideal for a repair because it would melt the plastic together where applied, if this platform is polystyrene plastic. Are the walls polystyrene plastic as well? Has anyone repaired one of these stations? And if so with what glue? Thanks for any input- I just don't want to make it worse by using the wrong glue and ruin a building I am determined to salvage.
How about putting just a bit of your styrene glue on the underside of the platform to see whether it melts the plastic?I think I would use a hobby grade superglue. If the cracks are tight (they usually are) I'd use the thin stuff.
When I am gluing, I use very little to avoid having it come out of the seam.
Thanks for the input CW. I like the Gorrilla brand of Super Glue - I'll have to see if the local store has a thin version.
