Brass Trains: Coach Yard Diaphragm Installation Tips - Canopy Glue

Today we look at a brand new Coach Yard car from the early 2000's. Using Canopy glue, we will secure the diaphragm to the car. I discuss why Canopy glue is useful on not only brass models but plastic as well.

Thank you for the tutorial on Canopy glue. It had recently been recommended to me (by someone who should know) for use in repairs to already painted damaged products. Your endorsement gives me the confidence to go ahead with Canopy glue as the bonding agent. Great video. Clear audio. Top notch.

I used to custom paint a lot of Dave Allen's cars around 1984. The level of detail from then to now is amazing. We used to swap cars for paint jobs and eventually the brass stuff just got too pricey to keep up with. But I had a lot of fun. Hi Dave, Hi Fred!!

I loved this presentation. Thank you. I have some old Athern BB passenger cars. It's interesting that their 3 axle trucks have the pivot point just where you put yours. However, the trucks themselves are not great. I've got some Bethlehem Car Works passenger cars with Taylor trucks that I want to try this with. I really dislike the truck mounted couplers and convert to body mount.

Again, thank you.

I know this video is pretty basic but I felt it was a good opportunity for me to finally come back to YouTube. More to come

0:45 I'm comparing my only HO UP Sleeper Heavyweight to this made by Walthers and it's really only missing the generator drive shaft and belt detail along with the chain piece to the brake system. Other than that they're pretty close. A clear coat to match the shine and I might be able to fool some people... unless they pick it up and feel it. 😏 I'm going to have to look into this company, great looking product!

Ive found great success and detail from branchline heavyweight kits. Granted, it could not be compared to tcy, but id like to think its close.

I can never understand non working diaphrams on CY models. Other importers put working diaphrams on their models.
