Yep, depending on what you're using them for (and there's probably many more in different materials
Never knew there were that many types ! :surprised::nerd:
Tim there's wavey and straight, no tear, plain, pointed and lipped, please try to pay attention at such an important matter:smiling::smiling::nerd:I make that ten types and ten repeats John.......but I’m a sad and lonely rivet counter...... :tongue-out3: :tongue-out3:
That's a good idea Gerry, mind imagine me trying to tie some cotton on a track would end up with me on the floor fighting the track and smashing the model.:smiling3:Must admit that in the past, I've used cotton to tie the tracks into position for sag and lift - though that was mainly on the 1/72 scale

No, just that I've had to use them for many years - and you soon find out the ones not to use on thin paper, those that will hold a thick load manifest, etc. etc.I can see a nerd being born here

Isn't too difficult - if you feed the cotton round the axle first, then out through the track, you can tie off on the outside & hide either under the track, or with weathering.That's a good idea Gerry, mind imagine me trying to tie some cotton on a track would end up with me on the floor fighting the track and smashing the model.:smiling3:
