Although I hesitate to recommend it because of its potential to cause injury or damage to either the modeler or his/her loco parts if not done carefully ,outdoors, acetone is another product that does a good job cleaning metal surfaces. This is true for simply cleaning, or in preparation for priming and painting.

isopropal alcohol should work for the wheels and i use dry erasers for track cleaning.
Being old is when you didn't loose it, it's that you just can't remember where you put it.

Please, be more specific on what your locomotive is, you have not provide sufficient information to make a recommendation. Most likely, replacement will be the best course of action.
