I've used standard washing up liquid for this and warm (not hot) water - if you can't put your hand in the water it's too hot. Works a treat on grungy Hornby bodyshells from the "used" shelves at the LHS and will even shift quite extensive gunging (most spectacular would have to be an LGB G scale boxcar I bought used (looked like it had been in a flood - general dust and grime all over it). I dismantled it, scrubbed the parts gently in warm water and washing up liquid, it's now almost mint again.
