RESTORATION - UNION PACIFIC GAS TURBINE LOCOMOTIVE BY TRAINS INC. /KUMATA HO SCALE BRASS
After diss-assembly, the parts are placed in a tub and covered with paint remover, then rinsed to remove all of the original paint and clear coat. They are then placed in a 50/50 mix of hydrochloric acid and water. This removes the remaining film and corrosion. The parts are soaked in cold water after the acid dip, then rinsed again and allowed to air dry. After polishing the parts with a Dremel tool with a wire wheel bit, the parts are primed and painted with Floquil railroad colors. The photos of the painted parts show the paint prior to the green being applied to the top of the hood and decal work.
