How hot did it get to soften the springs this much?

This is what we lost. Photos from when I first saw them at West Sale.

Lost to the Flames
Hi Rick,
To use that very descriptive Australian word - Bugger!! Sad to see the losses mounting as this thread progresses - your museum's trailers, Robert's sheds and Tony's train carriage. There are more losses we are yet to hear about, too, I suspect. As you have said, the very real up-side is no loss of life among the MLU community, for which I'm sure we are all grateful. The fire situation in Australia should make us all sit up and think about our collections and how safe they are from a situation like that being experienced by our MLU friends in Australia. I for one will be doing some re-evaluation of the risk factors. Best regards Mike

Breath deeply. Exhale deeply. Ultimately what we have is just 'stuff', and we are only taking care of it for the next owners. Things are lost, and there is little that can be done.
What we need are people, and from the sounds of it everyone we know on MLU has passed these events safely. Touch wood (as I knock on my forehead), we'll all be around to reflect on these times come the rainy season.
