Jake,
That is the same info. that I have been receiving from other owners. I am sitting tight waiting to hear from my "SCIENCE PROFESSOR".
On another note, we just finished the mold for McCoy standard gauge steam chests. A sample has been cast from a zinc pest casting which we ground, filled w/ epoxy and reshaped. I need to drill, tap, mount the new cylinders & see how it all fits. I just realized that the cylinder mounting plate is also suffering from zinc pest. It was a casting, nickel plated. I can make out of steel and get plated as I go. We are not the fastest train, but we eventually " arrive at the station " Harry

I look forward to hopefully positive results. I'm not 100% confident in my replacement parts that I was able to acquire at a premium, so new pieces would bring some peace of mind about owning two of the locomotives that have had the problem.
