This they thread has been going for years and just keeps getting better. Although the rolling stock is old, you are bringing them up to an excellent level of presentation.

George Zinc alloy castings can, over time, fail. This was the problem with the old Central Valley trucks and with a lot of die-cast boilers and other parts. The parts get soft and crumbly, sometimes with a white residue. dave Modeling 1890s (because the voices in my head told me to) Country: USA | Posts: 8975 mwbpequod Fireman Posted - 01/10/2021 :  12:56:15 PM     quote: The parts get soft and crumbly, sometimes with a white residue. In this case the bolsters were cracked and warped off the floor a good 3/16" in the middle. Unscrewing from the floor let them fall into several pieces. Usually this in the various Zamac alloys compromised by some contamination by lead, etc. In a time like ours seemings and portents signify.

Your parts bin has to be large and interesting to dig through. I've spent a lot of years accumulating parts and supplies while at shows and meets. One of the primary parts bins was John Armstrong's parts cabinet. I bought that to use it as just he did. It was stuffed full to the point that they could not get it open. Took me months to get everything out of it and to sort it out into keep // sell // trash piles. I use it all the time! Other storage bins are the old containers for 3.5" floppy disks - perfect size for parts packaging; 5' shelf of just those containers. Now is the time to be using stuff up and having fun building models! In a time like ours seemings and portents signify.

Thanks for sharing that idea. Horton M.

Fabulous work on all of these babies. Horton M.
