Описание: Is your prize brass locomotive covered in unsightly tarnish? Don't reach for expensive, harsh chemicals! In this step-by-step tutorial, Sam D. Teague reveals his incredibly simple, low-tech, and low-cost secret to restoring vintage brass models.

Watch as we take a heavily tarnished brass AT&SF 4-8-4 steam locomotive model and completely strip away the tarnish using just one common household material.
