......... does the white metal contain uranium ? NO ! Things like
tin, lead, zinc and cadmium plus a few others which I can't remember.
The mix depends on things like furnace temp and the casting of fine
details.
You like a challenge then ?

Forgot the clue to my confusion....modern WM kit of similar size - Gem
George 5th - loco only wieghs 250g, this 4F hits max of 500g with a thud. So
well more than 500g.
Cheers,
