"I must find a glue which sticks Bachmann cab doors on permanently. Any suggestions?"

 

What are they made of? If plastic, try this:

I've used the Australian equivalent and it's very good, e.g. for SMP track sleepers.

Ta. I will get some and try it. It may be the doors are abs so the only other thing I could try is the glue plumbers use to fasten plastic pipes together with.

If they're ABS, Plastic Weld should work. If Plastic Weld doesn't work, they're probably not ABS!

Plastic weld bounces off some types of ABS apparently (from an industry source). Heljan add ons are ABS and they don't stick using plastic weld.. or rather they do but not for long..
