TIL that bronze is non-magnetic. I really ought to know this, so it will trigger a deep dive on the magnetic properties of various metals. I have a good general knowledge, but need to discover (and retain) the details. Why, you ask? Well 19th/early 20th Century toy trains run on early electrical knowledge and technology. Understanding how and why things were made as they were is important for preservation and restoration. #Trains #Toys #Tinplate #20thCentury
