M/T Wood Decks for Bulkhead Flats

Anyone used these and if so, what do you recommend for attaching them to the car?

Here are the decks


Here is the victim car with the deck parts


And here is the test fit.



Pretty nice so far. Just need to get them attached and good to go.

 

Maybe some double sided scotch tape? It's flat.

 

I've installed a few sets. I used micro-scale liquitape. Applied only to the wood decks, let set till the "white" had cleared then pressed into place on the cars.

 

It does look nice, but too late for me. I already painted and treated all my wood flat car decks !!! I do have several wood deck inserts for M/T 89' flat cars for RBBB circus cars. I'm thinking Elmer's white glue for mine. BTW...ummm...any "Chips Ahoy" left ??? I know that package anywhere !!!

 

Use the same glue you used to attach your cork and/or tracks. If you want it removable in the future, use a water based glue.

 

Good eye! And yes, it's still unopened.

 

Odd, I've done Z-scale ones-they have self adhesive backing!

 

I picked up a set recently as well and wondered what to do about that?
A quick shot of a dulling agent should work?
But a solvent or water based? The printing could react to a solvent and the waterbase may swell it to some degree?
They claim it's wood?

 

Some sort of powder weathering?

 

A couple of months ago I did all six of mine.

So I used a little bit of CA in a few spots all over the deck. A little bit so it wouldn’t soak through. Seemed to work. Then hit it with dullcote and a little bit of gray pastel powder. Good enough for me:
