Don't forget that the WS Accent Glue is painted on the LPB's feet (or bum if they're seated), then allowed to dry before placing them on the layout. This allows them to be picked up, and moved elsewhere, without re-applying the glue, as the tacky residue stays with the figure, not the spot where they were previously placed. Eventually, the glue will lose its stickiness, but it can be easily rolled-off with the tip of your finger, so that a new coat can be applied.
I don't yet have a great many figures on the layout, so most of them don't get moved often. On the other hand, I spend more time working on trains than running them, so I'm not in the layout room as often as I'd like. As for vehicles, yes, they get moved almost every time that I'm in the layout room, and especially when taking photos. I hadn't noticed until someone mentioned it, but a series of photos showing a train as it passes a level crossing can appear almost animated if you flip through the pictures fairly rapidly.An example:

OK, Wayne, that's it.
At my next Ops session, your role is that of the Chief Motion Director. You will be responsible for the continuous movement of people and vehicles around the layout during the session.

richhotrain LOL I've got a feeling that I am the only one on this forum who uses hot glue to secure figures to the layout. Rich

No, Rich, you are not the only one. I use hot glue because it sets up almost instantly.

...and as he's driving back to the farm with a load of chickens, he happens to catch a train, or rather it caught him:
cacole I use Goop, a clear silicon adhesive that can be purchased at any hardware or big box store. It doesn't seem to matter whether it is labeled as automotive, craft, household, plumbing or other type, because they all seem to be exactly the same.

I also use the GOOP. After I started to use it over 5 years ago I can not imagine not having it.
It is easy to remove, but it holds very well and has so many uses for the layout, auto and home.

Rich I'd be glad to help out, Rich, but it would violate my probation: One minute this poor guy's at the livestock auction.... ...and as he's driving back to the farm with a load of chickens, he happen to catch a train, or rather it caught him: Except for a few chickens, no one was hurt.
Oh, my word!
