Well done Jim. I'll try that now, too. So far I have kept my hands off machines that were infected with zinc plague.👍

HiJürgen, I have three of these Fleischmann engines. Two just aggregates and one a complete plant and the other two flywheels show zero zinc pest.

Fleischmann brought out some very nice machines between 1949 and 1950/51. Unfortunately, in the post-war period, a lack of material meant that the mixtures of some cast alloys were not correct and that the well-known zinc plague damage occurred in later years. Too bad, but not to change. I regret this a lot.
