Never knew there were that many types !
Tim there's wavey and straight, no tear, plain, pointed and lipped, please try to pay attention at such an important matterI make that ten types and ten repeats John.......but I’m a sad and lonely rivet counter......
That's a good idea Gerry, mind imagine me trying to tie some cotton on a track would end up with me on the floor fighting the track and smashing the model.Must admit that in the past, I've used cotton to tie the tracks into position for sag and lift - though that was mainly on the 1/72 scale
I can see a nerd being born hereYep, depending on what you're using them for (and there's probably many more in different materials )
No, just that I've had to use them for many years - and you soon find out the ones not to use on thin paper, those that will hold a thick load manifest, etc. etc.I can see a nerd being born here
Gerry I had my eye on them for doing those tracks, so would be the thicker type, apparently up too 1.6mm !No, just that I've had to use them for many years - and you soon find out the ones not to use on thin paper, those that will hold a thick load manifest, etc. etc.
Isn't too difficult - if you feed the cotton round the axle first, then out through the track, you can tie off on the outside & hide either under the track, or with weathering.That's a good idea Gerry, mind imagine me trying to tie some cotton on a track would end up with me on the floor fighting the track and smashing the model.

Greetings all , good to see old members of the rabble and a new member making an appearance. If there's one thing about this forum it brings out the nerds in us, there's nothing like some banter to lighten the day.Stevie, how are you my friend? Did you forget to roll down the window in the Plymouth while running the motor again??? Thought so.....
