| Has anyone overcome the problem of small hinges for railway models? I found quite a lot at Micromodele but I am not sure they can do the job: I think they are more design for casket than for doors. For this purpose they shall close completely flat.

| Micromodèle est bien un marchand de modélisme naval. Je vais les appeler au téléphone, car on ne voit rien sur leurs illustrations de 1x2 cm.
Merci, | |

| Finalement j'ai trouvé de petites charnières chez Jet à Lyon. De plus elles ne coûtent que 0,50 euro. I finaly found small hinges at Jet in Lyon; furthermore they are rather cheap at 0,50 euro. This is the first door I mounted: | |

| Certainly not a very good idea to be copied: setting thoses hinges is a mess! I have eight doors to do. I have to do it again and again. Either the glue went into the hinge,spoiled it so that I had to repace it, or it did not glue at all. I tried Cyanolit, but I am surely wrong but I never succeeded with Cyanolit in sticking anything else than my fingers or the glue cap so that it canot be used anymore: at the price they sell it, it is not a bargain. So I came back to that brave old Araldite: long, long, difficult to,use but so efficient; and two tubes can last for years even opened.
I still have two double doors to do since the two I stuck yesterday with Cyanolit dissassembled this morning! | |

| I stop for a while dealing with these damned hinges, otherwise I shall grow mad (if I am not mad yet!). I glue one and two others unglue... A part from the problem of puttong inlines the hinges that Carl mentionned (I forgot the art of understatement that British may show), I think the thickness of my doors are a problem because either you leave plenty of play betwwen the door and the fixed part (excuse me I do not know the exact term) or the door cannot develop open. | |
