[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by der5997 Fergus: You're right, ash is basic. Either my correspondent was wrong in saying acidic, or I interpreted "Acidic" when he wrote "corrosive". Anyway it's all alkali under the bridge now. Now, there's a scene to model, soap foam pollution on your river [V] About as attractive as model graphiti IMHO. [/quote] Coal Ash may be acidic as coal contains a lot of sulfur and other nasties, Just look at our beloved tar ponds. I'll forego the water pollution and the graffiti. Living in Westmount for three years over looking the Steal mill and tar ponds of Sydney is something I'll not be modelling even if it means compromising accuracy. I may even change the name of the RR from Musquodoboit, Eastern Shore & Sydney to "Musquodoboit, Eastern Shore & Shubenacadie". Any thoughts?
