I was recently ballasting some track on the upper level of my layout, and noticed that the platforms of my Walthers train station....





...were curling up at both ends...



Because I have a lot of structures and scenery stuff to add behind the station, I didn't really want to glue it in place. Instead, I decided to use screws, and had some small brass ones on hand. The head just fit into some brass tubing, also on-hand, so I cut a couple of scale 3' lengths off the tubing, then soldered the screw heads into the tubing...



After using a pin vise to drill clearance holes in the platform, I used a smaller bit to create starter holes for the screws into the Masonite beneath the platform...



The resulting trash pails still need to be painted, but do a good job of holding down the platforms while not looking out-of-place....

Yup, great solution...

That's using your head.

Great Idea Wayne, now add trash and another job well done.
