I understand that one method of countering galvanic corrosion in domestic & industrial water systems is to ensure all parts are linked, by wire or good contact, then apply a small voltage to certain areas / items. (Obviously between the item and the remaining area.) I wonder if this might be applied to the larger models, and if so, would it be worthwhile? alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.alanstepney.info Model Engineering, Steam Engine, and Railway technical pages. ----- Original Message ----- From: "R.L.
