Well how does that work then? Are you saying the engine bay and
suspension is completely sealed? Because there's going to be a lot of
steel touching aluminium in there which will have to deal with winter
salt.


Not on the scale needed for IOW trains.


Corrision is corrosion. You implied there was some chemical reason the
trains couldn't be treated, now you're just saying its an issue of scale.
Make your mind up.


Go on then, clever clogs. You try it!
