Experimenting with placing figures in RK passenger cars.

Why cant you wait till dry to reinstall?

I have used "tacky" glues for passenger figures and found that however long you leave them to set they won't be as secure as when you use two part epoxy or contact cement. Many people on the forum have recommended using a hot glue gun, which I have not tried. Frankly, Elmer's Glue works better than the tacky type.

There's more of a problem with standing figures because there's less area on their base (feet) to apply the adhesive. For these I have taken to putting a dowel (small diameter brass rod) in one side and drilling a hole for it to be placed in the car floor and applying the glue in the hole as well as the rest of the base. Depending on the exact size of the figure this can be fiddly work but it keeps it secure.

I use super glue gel. Works great. Dries fast. Haven't had any come loose even the standing figures stay in place

What brand of passenger figures are you using? I've been looking for the right size figures (there must be at least half a dozen different sizes of so-called "O gauge" figures.

To glue figures to passenger cars (and for any number of other things), you can't beat Walthers Goo. 

BREEZINUP, I am using Golden Gate Depot figures (36 in package). Trying them first to see how it works.

Go to your local Napa store and buy a roll of Butal tape. They used this stuff for car windows. Anyway you can roll this stuff into little balls and stick it to the figures butts and place them in the seats. It works very well. Plus if you want to move someone to a new seat, the figure will pull up easily. The last time I bought a roll of Butal tape it cost around 17 bucks, but I use it for everything
