Re: hi tech HO air hoses
I’ve been using a couple of eye bolts to align the air pipe, giving three points of support, the bracket, and the two eye bolts. Canopy glue seems to work fine in this application.

Re: hi tech HO air hoses
I have tried “canopy glue” with poor results … unfortunately the term “canopy glue” covers several products from various manufacturers, and they are NOT all the same product. What I have

Re: hi tech HO air hoses
Interesting I’ve never had this problem with CA. I even have a few friction fit and they stay put. Maybe your holes are too big?

Re: hi tech HO air hoses
The only problem I have with the HiTech air hoses is that of fastening them on. The silicon-rubber resists all common adhesives (ACC, Goo, Shoe-Goo, white glue, acetate cement, Gorilla glue, epoxy,

Re: UP series 10300 to 12499
It’s hard to predict the future but I don’t think the OWR&N lettering will be used in the mid 1960s.

Re: UP series 10300 to 12499
The cars are lettered as class B-50-41. The prototype B-50-41 was a 1944 AAR box car with R/3/4 Early Improved Dreadnaught ends, and a diagonal panel roof. These cars also had Alternating Center

Re: hi tech HO air hoses
Nelson has a good summary which seems to be the same as my experience. Keep in mind that the air hose needs to be installed tipped toward the coupler at a 30 degree angle, not straight down.

Re: hi tech HO air hoses
I installed the 22” hoses (a mix of with and without brackets) on 120 cars on my September 1956 era layout. Once installed, I paint them Tamiya German Grey XF-63, the closest color of a faded rubber

Re: hi tech HO air hoses
I agree with the others. I use the ones that come with the cast metal bracket because it looks nice.

Hi Richard,
I have been using Hi-Tech air hoses for several years and they are excellent. On new cars, I use them when I am building the car. For cars with plastic air hoses, I replace them as

Doug,
as an NP researcher of about four decades now this is the best advice I can give you: Join the io NP Modelers list and the io Telltale, the io Milwaukee list also and repost your query
