Hello from Semafore. I am from Springfield, Mass. I lived there until I moved to South Florida in 1980. Boston and Maine RR used the Springfield yard then. I'd bike over there in my tweens and teens to watch and learn. Yet safety was Always #1 .I was into HO then and now. The thing I recall the most was, track cleaning. WAP! It would take 3 hrs for a BB pass to run trains for 2 or three days until the track was filthy again. Yay, Brass!  But I didn't have the notion then of burnishing. This happened a few years ago in my garage reconditioning guitar frets. Go figure. The connection I made was, frets are nickel-silver, like track. They gleam just like track, too. Do this if you have a guitar. Those strings will play and bend with little effort. Anyway, if I thought of it then, I certainly would have done it,  'cause it works well on brass, too. I would like to see the ctvrr very much when I visit my family soon. Please reply to my <A href="mailto:rcbsys1@aol.com">rcbsys1@aol.com</A> if you would be so kind as to invite me. Thank you, Richard (Semafore)
