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

Next step was to clean up the engine and boiler.


Eventually, I got to the generator, too!


The original paint on these parts was in mostly excellent condition.
To clean off the years of oil build up I used GoJo hand cleaner - the smooth non-abrasive type.
It is old (more than 10 years) and is now looking like brown motor oil instead of a white paste.
While it looks like it has gone bad, it still works great. It scrub with a soft towel soaked with the GoJo.
And then wipe it clean with a dry part of the towel. Then I cleaned the nickeled surfaces by gently hand polishing with Simichrome and a soft microfiber towel.
