We have calculated models for the kinematical and chemical evolution of the Galactic disk that include the infall of metal-free gas and the stochastic acceleration of disk stars. Our models are similar in some respects to those of Chiosi (1980) and Vader & de Jong (1981), but the results are compared with a greater variety of observational data. A complete description of this work will appear shortly in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
