I have used Barge Cement (blue tube) for several years, and really like its characteristics. It is a useful member of my 'glue team'. I found mine by ordering at an ACE hardware store.

Re: Defect Card Holders
Scott, there is a defect card on each side of the X29D rebuilds, to the left of the door. So you'll see them in photos of the L left and R right sides (w respect to brakewheel), but always to the left of the door. Tim O'Connor

Re: Defect Card Holders
I think - (I could be mistaken) - that Detail Associates 6213 included a tiny tack board like that. I'm pretty sure someone made one in HO...
