I'm glad to see this topic! I've been wondering to myself just how important the plating is. While looking at used brass models, I'm always noticing that the models with worn wheels are considerably cheaper (most of the time). What would have to be done to re-plate them? Disassemble the loco, remove the wheels and take them to a plating shop? What about painted wheels, will replating ruin the paint? <br /> <br />Would most chrome shops be able to silver plate? <br /> <br />Thanks guys!
