I'm wondering what kind of glue to use for assembling components onto or repairing engines and rolling stock. Obviously it has to be good with plastic. When I visited my local hobby shop tonight, I found many types of glue. I was specifically looking at that CA but which kind? Quick drying? Slow drying? Thick? Thin? I'm having some difficulties getting started with the basics because I have some real dumb questions. Part of the problem is that the guy at the hobby shop seems like he's not interested in helping me. Sometimes I feel like he's talking to me in a condascending way. Needless to say, I'll be getting most of my advice and help from these forums and other forums until they replace that guy at the hobby shop. Question #2: Can someone point me out to a good source or two for track layout designs? Web sites would be great but ISBN numbers or authors for books would work too. I may be looking specificially for something on shelf type layout. I've got a pretty good sized basement but the problem is that it's a finished basement (70% of it) and I really don't feel that it's appropriate to fill up the entire space of the basement with a layout. I was thinking something like running a layout along the length of the walls and making at least 1 90 degree turn so I"d have kind of an L-shaped layout that could hug the walls. The interesting part will be to find out if I can fit a helix at one of the ends and make it "not visible" so I can run at least 1 continuous main line. I hooked up a remote switch tonight - Yay! Thank you in advance, Jas
