I am trying to find a place where I can buy a foam carriage cradle to put the engines when I need to work on them. When I was in HO I simply went to the hobby store and bought one for HO engines, now I can’t find them for O gauge engines. Does anybody know where I can get them? Reuben
Look in CTT. There is an advertisement for them and in OGR too. Not at home or I would tell you who and the phone number. About $20 for the big one.
Why not build one. 3 pieces of wood & a little foam. I have some pics somewhere but can’t find them. Let me know if you are interested and I will take some.
I use a cardboard box filled with foam peanuts and bubble wrap. Put the foam peanuts in the box first and then lay the bubble wrap on top shapping a craddle.
You can buy a miter box at a hardware store or home emporium and line it with foam. The fancier Stanley units now have adjustable pegs to log whatever you are working on in place.
Thanks -all for the fine ideas. Again, this is a great forum. [:D] - Reuben
