josef posted:Just out of curiosity, do any of the other scales HO, S, and N have problems like this? My good friend and neighbor who is moving this week and had a sale on his HO equipment and was at one time into O scale when asked if he ever had any electronic or zinc problems in his 15 years of HO modeling, said he never had any problems as he read and followed on Forums. His layout was in the garage with only a fan to cool him when operating.
I had a couple of 1970's era Athearn locomotives with zinc rot on their frames, along with a late 1960's Lindberg SW1.
