Not to steal the intent of the OP for this thread...
Several have said something to the effect of "there are bunches of uses for a good glue gun"
Pardon my ignorance, but what are you using them for? I haven't built a layout in quite a few years.

I recently used a hot glue gun on a Pedestrian bridge:

I originally glued it together with a traditional glue that was a PIA because it took a long time for the glue to harden.

Two nights ago, the bridge was hit by a passing train and came apart.

I put it back together in 2 minutes using the hot glue gun.

Six months ago, I bought a model of the Titanic from another modeler who put it together. It has a lot of little, fragile parts. Some of those parts came undone when I drove home with it. I used the hot glue gun to glue those loose parts back in place. Again, it was a very quick and easy job using the hot glue gun.
