I was noticing that I have some .030 plastic notebook dividers that have some really nice tint like very light green blue, etc. They will make excellent window material. I really like the looks of the Lionel Heavyweights, so I am interested in all this maintenance.
I have a set of NYC Heavyweights coming. I got a set with 3 broken diecast trucks and Joe Grzyboski is taking them back and going to send another new set. He said that the ultra cold can make the diecast brittle and with a good UPS drop, the somewhat tightly bound trucks in the foam can shatter. I did notice that the trucks are really tight in the packing compared to similar MTH car's trucks. And they were broken in a direction that supports a good vertical drop issue. Sounds reasonable but anyway they are taking care of me, hope I get a good set this time. I at first thought all the parts were not in the wrapping but I think I found all the parts that fell out of the plastic covering onto the rug in the room and put them in a zip lock and in the box for the return trip.
