GunRunner - thanks. It gets hot. Would think hot enough to melt solder?
Roundhouse Bill - yes. You did an article on them recently - right? Have they been available long?
Adriatic - thanks. Your suggestion may come in handy. This time or some other. PS Didn't realize what an Adriatic steam locomotive (2-6-4) was until recently - for grins was checking out a Lionel 211 rendering of the Dreyfuss Hudson.
