Are you saying the engine bay and suspension is completely sealed? Because there's going to be a lot of steel touching aluminium in there which will have to deal with winter salt. Not on the scale needed for IOW trains. Corrision is corrosion. You implied there was some chemical reason the trains couldn't be treated, now you're just saying its an issue of scale. Make your mind up. Go on then, clever clogs. You try it! -- Colin Rosenstiel |

You stated it was not possible due to it for some chemical reason, I pointed out that its obviously done in certain cars (not to mention aircraft) whereupon you suddenly decided it was all down to scale. So are you going to tell us what the actual issue is or just keep blustering and hope I get bored and give up? B2003 |

Island Line trains go out to Ryde Pier Head station, where they are exposed to salt water spray coming up from under the tracks. -- David Cantrell | Hero of the Information Age Anyone willing to give up a little fun for tolerance deserves neither |

You've heard of gritting lorries, right? My car spent a lot of time driving through salty spray last winter. Far more so than the few minutes the trains at ryde pier are subjected to and then only when the sea is rough. B2003 |
