ok so i have this older west side or united (top of box and papers got lost by my ex wife) santa fe 2-10-10-2, the foam has rotted. where can i get new?

my search fu is very bad, people can find things  right away, while i search for days and find nothing.

 

also a good way to clean the old foam off the brass (no paint).

Is ReBoxx even still in

Is ReBoxx even still in business?  There was some discussion about hobbyists wanting to get their custom length axle wheel sets and getting no response.
