[modeleng] Re: Allen heads

Allen,

They have been gluing aircraft together for years!!!! Improves airframe 
life, no rivets to rust!! Ok, haven't tried gluing a 5" boiler together yet 
and, as far as I know, there isn't another preserved railway that has tried 
to glue cladding on. The only gluing that does come to mind was on one of 
gods own Black Fives. A TV commercial was made for Polycell wallpaper paste 
and they papered a Black Five, looked like Laura Ashly had got hold of 
it!!!!! If I remember right, it was on the NYMR, if not it was the K&WVR.

Dave.

I'm just waiting until "they" start "glueing"
everything in place.
