O.K. when you have to replace them ( those who do) do you secure them with some type of adhesive? If you do what are you using. Thanks ! Sean
When new, they are very tight and need no adhesive.
If they become loose after a while because of age and use, replace them.
I personally don’t see a need for them on my relatively flat layout, but that’s just for my application.
Honestly 1/2 of my locos don’t have them? Your a crafty guy…why not make sanding tanks and a sanding facility?
I wouldn’t glue them
Hummm! Didn’t think of that.
My Aristo locos that don’t come with them have no problem on my 5%. The one USA loco that I rebuilt without them will sometimes slip on the same grade. It’s not the sliders 'cause I took them off too even though the pickup really sucks without them.
If the look doesn’t bother you and you have grades, I’d replace them. They really don’t bother me. I can hardly see them.
