Having finaly plucked up the courage to mess with a perfectly good caboose I have broken the clippie bits that hold the body down at one end it had gone a bit brittle.
Can any one tell me if the Bachmann Coal Creek Caboose is made of that horrible plastic that no plastic glue will stick.
Sugestions for renforcing the clips when I glue them back would be appreciated or another way to fix down the body when the other planned mods have been done.
Also should there be some sort of sheet metal around the smoke stack which is what I changed, and added a single lamp top in the centre of the roof, from an Ozarks coach roof detail set.
I am open to sugestions as to what other details I should add while I have the Caboose in bits.
Would a red conductors lantern hanging on the back instead of marker lights fit the imiage of a back woodsy logging caboose or would it have propper marker lights.
It’s regular plastic. I cemented grooved evergreen plastic over the middle side windows on the cupola. I would recommend the four screws in the corners, because the plastic tabs are under tention during installation and removal and will likely re-break.
