How was your weekend? Since we're still social distancing,  I spent my weekend cleaning up some of my Wide Gauge Flyer passenger cars. Scroll to the end to see this set in action. They're not perfect, definitely played with, but a lot cleaner now.

Before:

4644 Engine before

After:

 

 

I spent a lot of time with a felt buffing wheel, hard brass polish, and my dremel to get the observation deck looking like new.  I'll have to go back to the Yorktown and buff it out too. Big Smile

I still need to polish the cow catchers and clean up the couplers.
