The Cradle
Anyone that has worked on model trains and in particular HO scale locomotives with very fragile accessories, you sometimes end up with needing to repair bits and pieces attached to the locomotive that got damaged while you worked on the locomotive.
After several sessions doing repairs or modifications to my various locomotives with difficulty holding them, or even while working on rolling stock, I went looking for a better handling solution that I found on the web in the form of a foam cradle that works perfectly for holding the locomotive no matter in what position the locomotive needs to be oriented in. I find the cradle perfect for adding decals to my freshly painted locomotives as well.
I should have had one of these foam cradles positioned on my work bench a long time ago.
