Thank you to everyone for the tips and info.<br><br>I will be careful with any cleaning that I do. For now until I know exactly what it is that I have and how to work on it correctly I am going to only clean it to the extent of removing dust.<br><br>There are no plastic parts on the engine. The electric motor in the tender does have some non-metallic components. The fuel and water lines are already shot but I do not want to remove them in case they help to id the maker. They are an externally ribbed line. Instead of clamps there are loops of wire that have been twisted tight to hold the lines secure.<br><br>My hope is that if I can id the builder I can get some sort of manual to then properly restore the engine. I really want to see and hear it run!<br><br>There is a train show here in Atlanta in Feb. Any chance there will be someone there that knows live steam O scale?<br><br>I was told that live steam in this scale and complexity is unusual. Is that so?<br><br>Michael<br>
