What's the Best Way to Clean Brass Locomotives?
I received a very nice brass steam locomotive from a special friend a few years ago for Christmas. It's an LIRR-inspired G-5 4-6-0 and it's the first brass engine I've ever owned. Therefore, I am ignorant to the type of maintenance it requires and am rather apprehensive to jump into any type of service project without some community advice.

Hi All,
Went to see some trains today with my camera. Found a couple scenes that you might enjoy looking at.
In the spirit of the holidays I'd like to share them with You.
Hope the year is Happy, Healthful and Prosperous for you.
I’m looking forward to see your prototype photos too!

Converting brass locos to DCC part 06, step 4 Improve the drive train
{Hey, what happened to Step 3, Add All-wheel Pickup? I moved that to a separate blog entry because it is more general and can also be applied to DC locos. Adding all-wheel pickup to brass steam locos}

I try to avoid driveshafts with dual U-joints, replacing the tubing is usually enough. I try to keep it simple.
