<P>Does anyone have a favorite barrier coating for wood/steel interface that they would care to recommend? For example, for new frame sections inside a railcar where oak will be in contact with steel. <br>

<P>Dear John,<br> There is a lot in common between ships and railroads, lots of steel in contact with wood out inthe weather. Here at San Francisco Maritime we use a bedding compound called Dolphinite. It's a horrable green color but it's great stuff. How are things going with your Bamberger 127?<br> Ted Miles<br>

<P>BRR 127 with its shiny exterior orange, yellow and black livery, patiently awaits the rebuild and minor fabrication of its 2nd truck, which is well underway.<br>
