Ian, Australia is a large country, in what part is it snowing....not on your tropical island I hope. As far as reinventing the wheel goes, in large scale LGB started with brass rail but brass wasn't the first rail used in model railroading. I believe steel was used for the first model railroad rail. At first in the form of tin-plate rail then as solid rail for scale modeling. Later, brass rail came along since steel rusted too much. The oxide problem on brass rail eventually brought about nickel silver rail that needed far less cleaning. Why stainless steel rail was invented for large scale, I don't know??... NS works just as well and is cheaper to buy, solders better and bends easier. OLD DAD
