Re: Mouldy Wagons

I would have feare for my health!

If You store this waggon in a dry atmosphere it will disappeare from alone.

For me it looks like a mold created by an extraordinary high humidity.

Can be caused by to less fresh air and, or to less hooting the room.

Re: Lubricators

Hi guys, don´t underestimate the steam oiler. The oil lubricates not only cylinders and pistons. The oil lubricates the valve chest and the slide valve too! Another advantage is the sealing and anticorrosive effect of the oil. We have in Germany and Austira some guys, specially in Vienna, they devel...

Hallo,

Re: Good Beginners Rolling stock

Hallo,

another possibility is to take small wagons from Swift Sixteen, made from resin, more easy to built than IP wagons. I own both and would recomend the resin ones.

Suits good to Mamod or MSS lokos.
