FAQs

What glue should I use?

You should use a plastic cement glue, which is readily available at most hobby stores. It's important to use plastic cement glue specifically for model construction, as it will bond the plastic pieces together effectively.

Can I use these ramps with other platform systems?

While these ramps are designed for the Gaugemaster Platform System, they can potentially be used with other systems. Check dimensions and compatibility before use.

How do I weather the platform ramps?

You can weather the platform ramps using various model railway weathering techniques. Apply washes, dry brushing, or pigments to add realism to the surfaces.

What scale are these platform ramps?

These ramps are designed for use with standard model railway scales; check the product dimensions to determine their suitability for your specific scale.

How do I clean the platform ramps?

Use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove any dust or debris. Do not use harsh chemicals or excessive amounts of water.

Troubleshooting

Ramps are not fitting together correctly.

Ensure that the glue is not excessive and that the pieces are aligned properly before they set. Refer to the instructions and clean up any excess glue.

Use a small amount of adhesive to reattach any loose detailing. Consider sealing the surface with a matte varnish after weathering.
