Gluing Rail to Wood

[Sumpter250]

The rails on the Pacific Coast Railway pier at Harford's wharf in Port San Luis were on top of the deck.
Have used Pliobond to attach rails to wood ties. Coat the bottom of the rails. Put them in place and warm the rails until the Pliobond melts. That method goes back to the '50's and was used for code 40 in n scale before PC ties in the '70's.

I stand "educated" :o .
I'd almost completely forgotten about Pliobond !, and yes, it was once fairly universally used for that, and much more. ( Once upon a time, in a fair land, far, far, away,......I could actually remember ! )
