CURIUM::FILZ The live steamers that I know around here get rail from somewhere, buy the cheapest 2x2s that they can find (for ties) and soak them in old crankcase oil for as long as they can manage. Neat creosote substitute. In direct answer, there are a couple of ads in this month's Trains offering such things for sale. Mine's at home, so I can't identify them. There was a locomotive and some open tram-type cars offered. Trains is a good source for such things, being aimed mostly at railfans. They (and Model Railroader) also have ads for commercial sources for such things. Good luck! Dennis
