1” scale rivets

Looking at building a riveted tank car. If I use PVC for the tank, in 1” scale any good suggestions for what to use for rivets ? The prototype has pointed head rivets

Re: West Coast Live Steam BOOK Project

Good question about the locomotives. I remember that K n said some of his father’s stuff had disappeared.

Re: West Coast Live Steam BOOK Project

To my knowledge this book has not been published. Unfortunately Kent Shattock passed away a couple of years ago. I thought that someone was picking up the pieces to try to get it published.

We lost a lot of good history in the mind of Ken. He knew quite a lot concerning live steam

Re: propane question

I would like to see photos of your burner for the locomotive. I have a small 1” scale locomotive that I would like to fire with propane. Are you using an arch? What did yours burn before?

Re: Little Engines Wendy?

I will say "No", neither in 1 1/2" or 1" scales. This must have been kit bashed together with some LE castings.

Truck history

Is there a website that I can go to to get the years certain style trucks were used (Arch, Andrews, Bettendorf, the odd ones, the modern roller/non roller bearing)? Arch from 1865 to 1900?, Andrews from 1880 to 1920? It would help a lot with a model I am working on

Gluing brass to aluminum

Off topic. My son is making a prop for a play. He is trying to glue rifle shells (brass) to a aluminum sheet for effect. welding is out, soldering does not work. Then he tried JB weld, they set up, but early come off if hit accidentally. Super glue and Gorilla glue tried also.

Suggesstions?
