Hello
Last year, I bought a 1/8 scale steam locomotive. The boiler is 100% iron. It doesn't have any sacrificial anode to prevent corrosion. I was told that it might be good to fill the boiler with kerosene in order to store the boiler for winter months. In this way, corrosion could be prevented at locations where small amounts of water would otherwise remain. How does this sound to the members of this forum?
Thanks
