Scale nut and bolt details.

[nkp_174]

I'm a pre-driller, so mine almost never turn into blobs since the glue is actually in the hole behind it (being o-scale also helps!). One camp (I get the impression Kevin is in this camp) cut them off flush and glue them on...the other camp (myself included), pre-drill holes and use the sprue as a bold.

Grandt Line is first and foremost a 1/4" company...as Cliff Grandt as an On3 modeler...so I'd guess that their best selection is O-scale. But as has been mentioned already, they also have plenty of HO parts. These things don't know what scale they are...but their importance grows as the scale grows.

Here's a couple of my cars that were built with the pre-drill method using either Grandt #1s or #15s...the ones with washers on wood, the ones without on metal:

You can see the "bolt heads" on the inside of the boards. I cut them flush after the glue has dried.
