You'll get a better response if you post the question over on the "Classic Toy Trains" forum.  I know it's a bit confusing that Trains has two forums with similar names, but this one is for real trains.  The "Classic Toy Trains" forum specializes in the stuff you are interested in.

You can get to that forum using the 'forums' button at the top of the page or try:

Good luck,
