Re: 0-6-0 yard switcher
RIc,
There are, but not as far as i can see with sloped tenders. Needs to be a Baldwin or close as well. The PSC one is close enough. Hen's teeth though.

Model Die Casting did an SP (?) 0-6-0 yard switcher with sloped-back tender. This was a 1950's model, all in die-cast zinc alloy. Kemtron offered brass piston valve

Very odd, I have 2 bundles of ME code 70 rail that has been around for quite a number of years and has not tarnished.

Re: ME rail
You should be using a product that is made "down-under" called "INOX". It's an electrical conductive lubricant that if used as directed creates an oxidation barrier on your ME Nickel-Silver rail.

I’m not sure what you mean by tarnish. Are you having troubles with conducting electricity from rail to wheel?

Re: ME rail
Hi Alan,
When you say tarnishing is this a yellowing? Are you referring to unlaid track or laid track? If laid did you use PVA glue? If so was the PVA low acidity? If yes to the last it's probably due

ME rail
Hi all, I am having trouble with my ME rail tarnishing, the Peco rail stays clean, we live in a relatively hot part of Australia (Perth) but we don't suffer with humidity.

I suggest that you not apply rail weathering solution to rail that is already in place. I discovered the hard way that it keeps working unless it can be completely removed. It rusts the spikes and
