I model freight cars a lot, so hee's my list for their modeling needs: 1. A solvent-cement dispensing tool. Much easier and less messier than using a bru***o put on plastic solvent. 2. A sprue nipper, and/or a #11blade with handle. 3.A small scale to make sure the cars are the proper weight. (4) Needle file set and sandpaper-very fine. (5) Pin vise with all small sizes of bits. (6) NMRA guage and a Kadee coupler heith guage. Now if you're into locomotive superdetailing and modifying (which I want to get into), you'd need some tweezer-or-needle-nose pliers to bend wire, an airbru***o repaint if necessary, a soldering gun could also be helpful, as well as a foam cradle. And for the layout, track cutters and spikers, a set of clamps, rail cutters, and a scale ruler could be added to my (now huge) list. I could think of plenty of other handy tools, but they're not coming to mind right now...
