I am attempting to add an Elesco feedwater heater to a Spectrum 2-10-2.  I need some advice as to what glue to use for attaching the detail parts to the locomotive.

Well, a good contact cement (like barge glue) would do the job good.

BMMECNY,

You already got a lot of good advice in the thread You started in Layouts and Layout building......Review that thread...'' Brass detail parts recommended method of assembly".

Take Care! Big Smile

I had forgotton about that thread until about half an hour ago when I was doing a search for a thread on the piping for the feedwater heater.  Thank you for pointing it out though.  I hadn't read through all of the comments again.
