engine detail question

[Anonymous]

If you have ever read an model rr magazine about detailing an engine like they did that Burlington engine, one thing I had a question about and they didnt show you how to do this but, how do you put on those marker lights on engines[:D]

The cal-scale,cary & psc markers are brass castings.you just have to drill a correct size hole to match the mounting stud,research the correct position for your rr,then acc the marker in.If it's a brass engine then acc or solder.If you get the markers from the parts dept. of your engines mfgr. they are usually plastic so you can use liquid cement or acc.
Also be aware that there are different styles for different era's.-Research.
