    Here's one for ya. Anyone have experience w/ the MicroEngineering Bridges? ie, the City Viaduct stuff?

    I have one on my layout. I like the bridge alot. It was a booger to build, but I got it done and it looks great.

    THE PROBLEM: The track has top wood member siderails that are glued on top of the normal ties in the same direction as the track. I used Testors Glue here and the plastic siderails are starting to "pop off" from the normal ties. The plastic seems to have almost a "derlin" type feel to it.. sort of like plastic horn-hook couplers. Wonder if that makes a difference.

    Should I try super glue for these? Plastic weld?

    Anyone ever build one of these suckers? Overall, I really like the bridge and think ME does a good job w/ these things.

    I've built some of the N scale ME bridges, I used super glue on them. Works rather well.
