I recently did some repainting and lighting on a couple old Bachmann J&S coaches. They came out pretty well
But I want to close up the space between the cars.
If I cut the coupler tang, what's the best way to glue it back together? I just tried it and managed to shorten one by about half an inch. Just cut out section of the tang with a razor saw. I glued it back together using laquer thinner with styrene reinforcement. It's setting right now, but I'm not sure it will be strong enough
Any suggestions on adhesives? Or maybe I could body mount an aristo coupler?
