polishing brass pieces.

(1/1)

romiin:
 Is there away or technique to cleaning up the brass pieces on the  engines and cars? Loco

Terry:
If you're repainting use a tumbler with brass medium. For just a few small peices use Brasso and cotton balls or tissues.

If you're not repainting the trains, don't clean the brass with more than a dry paint brush or damp with water rag. The brass should have a patina.

It's common for new collectors to regret their efforts after cleaning and polishing.   

romiin:
thanks Terry.  I will keep it in mind not to over do it.
