Nicole,

I believe that WD-40 would be a good cleaner and paint restorer on the paint of tinplate trains. It does a heck of a job of removeing bugs, tar, and other road grime on automobiles without damage to your cars paint.

If it doesn't hurt the paint on a 30K,40K, maybe more automobile, I would think it would be safe on the paint of tinplate trains, cleaning and restoring the original paint lustre and giving it a beautiful shine.

This is just my opinion.

Thanks,

John
