I have an MTH PS1 Burlington Zephyr from 2001.  The lamps are powered from one car to the next by tethers.  The tethers seem to be rubber.  In trying to connect one car to the next, the connectors fail due to the age of the rubber and glue holding them.  It's the glue that fails.  I have used Testors basic airplane glue, Faller Super Expert plastic glue, Plastruct Plastic Weld, Aleene's Tacky Glue, and Elmers white.  I would be grateful for any other glue suggestions.

E6000, strong, flexible, clear, waterproof and at Walmart, HD Etc.  extra will glue on the sole of your shoe if it is loose.

Along with Rod Miller and Choo Choo Charlie I would also try E6000. I used it to glue together the rubbery and cloth-like soles of boots and it's held for weeks now. The instructions advised to allow it to cure for up to 72 hours, and that's what I did. I did use a generous amount because I could do that with boots.
