I don't glue cabs in place.
You never know what is going to happen and in the case of my NW2, I'd hate to have that cab glued in place...
I just hate increasing the risk-factor with my models as it always ends up resulting in a dust collector and a lack of money...

 On factory painted units,unless it's something where the cab won't stay on,I don't bother.On units that I custom paint one color,especially if I'm also spraying the railings,I'll glue the entire shell together before I paint it.There are,of course,those few locomotives that have to be dissasembled to get the shell off,those,of course,don't get glued..

Either Aleene's tacky glue or for that matter plain old Elmers would work too as long as you have a way to hold the cab in place till the glue dries.

Is there any real reason why you would need to remove the cab once you finish a model?

I've glued quite a few of mine once the detailing was done, never had the need to get them back apart. Intermountain SD's are the worst, they get the most gluing.
