What I'm think of here is using glue, instead of spikes of solder/pc ties, for attaching the rails to the ties.
I have do some hand laying with C40 and pc ties in N scale, and are quite comfortable using that method, but now I decided to try my hands on some C55 HO track. I have no experience using spikes, but I assume they are too big for using on C55 rails, so I tried the good old proven pc tie method, and of course it works, but, I think it will end up being expensive using pc ties for every 5th tie on HO.
Then I read about using Barge contact cement, but haven't been able to find it at the local Home Depot store, so instead I tried it with regular contact cement, but with no success.
Does anyone here have any experience using glue?, if so, I would appreciate a short "how to - step by step" instruction.
If not, then how would you install C55 track, using pc ties?, using pc ties every 10 - 15th tie and then a dap of epoxy?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
