Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

I was able to purchase both engines and at a great price.  My question on the this one is how much should I clean it?  You can see where I went at the base a bit and it appears to be brass. I assume the boiler is as well.  I want it to retain some of its patina, but also want it to look a bit better than it currently does.
