Hi,
Can anyone recommend a strong epoxy capable of bonding medal side fairings off the trucks of a MTH subway.
As you can see, siding broke clean off the truck. Crazy glue holds but doesn't bond well as it easily can break off.
Appreciate any input. See pictures.
Thanks in advance.

Use JB weld and that will take care of it. Give the epoxied pieces a good 24 hrs to cure before handing and/or running the car.
Yup. JB weld. Clamp sections together.
Order new truck. G
Looks like you only need a side frame. I can't tell which truck you have. Shoot a photo of the good side and maybe I can help you.
Nate:
RE-READ the message and closely STUDY the photos that Bill (Subway Depot) provided. The "wing" extension that the sideframe attaches to with 2 SCREWS - has broken off the truck main block. He doesn't need any sideframe. He really needs a spare truck itself.,,,or to re-attach the broken "wing' more securely (ie: JB Weld, etc)

Joe, thanks for your observation. You are correct. If Subway Depot is reading this let me know which truck you have. I have parts and still may be able to help you.
Joe, are you going to the Fall Transit meet in October?
Hello Nate
You are welcome !
I am tentatively planning to go to the Fall NYCMTA Meet -- and would like to - I have to figure an easy and traffic-fast driving route to drive to Parsippany NJ from NE Philly.
regards - Joe F
Since it's early in the morning, your best bet is 95 north to route 1 north. Get off at route 18 west to new Brunswick NJ.
Hello PRR
WRONG !!!
That's the route to New Brunswick, NJ which is the usual location of past NYCMTA shows. Re-read my reply to Nate above -- and as I indicated there -- This October show is in PARSIPPANY, N.J. way up further north and due quite a way west of the GW Bridge. I have already found various ways to get there --- but it's about 100 miles each way for me to and from my Philly home --- (New Brunswick is 55 miles each way).
