regards ,ian Hi thanks moriarty, after cleaning the brass cannon's (degreasing them etc) I dipped them in the Carr's solution for about 45 Seconds. I then neutralised them in Water (think you should use the proper neutralizing solution though} let them dry and, All the cannon's you see are what they look like after I rubbed the soft residue off with my fingers lol, Could of used a tissue.

Hi Tomick n thanks, yes it will run but I have not put a motor in, but you can put one in anytime. The paint colour is, Apple Green, got it from the paint maker that supplied the newly built A1 Class Locomotive Tornado. WHATS GONE WRONG WITH SOME OF MY PIC'S Regards
