thank you, when the rods and valve gear are rusty, I wire wheel them up and knock off the rest of any plating that's left and dip them in black oxide for a minute to get the blackened effect, also dip the steam chest, pilot and trailing trucks....gives so many shades and textures of black......looks like it was meant to be that way.......the oxide wont attack the brass rivet detail, so they add a nice level of detail
