Hello AMCDave.............

Well i don't have any of those engines with nickel-plated drivers anymore but i will be picking up my Sunset 3rd Santa Fe #5021 2-10-4 very soon. The drivers tires and flanges are one piece machined carbon steel but not nickel plated. The driver tires looked like they are some sort of gray colored but the tire centers are black. I would like to know how to re blacken the tires but not sure how to do it the right way without ruining it. There's a picture of that Sunset 3rd Santa Fe 2-10-4 on ebay right now by typing "santa fe 2-10-4", you can see the pictures of the driver tires and you will see what i was talking about. I wonder if a bottle of gun metal blue work with engine upside down running very slowly and applying the gun blue on the side tires with a Q-tip ? Any ideas ?
