TE1a Clean upStarted out with this:
Finished with something a lot like this:
I have a bottomless box to it too....Think I may pop her on ebay and see what she does  . Although its difficult to part with it when I spent a good few hours cleaning 
Ok don't talk yourself out of this one... too late?

I might have a Roller for sale soon that would take some restoring 
You did a real fine job. My SR1A has the dull wheels not the shiny ones. I wonder if a real nice shiny one gets that much more than a run of the mill one though. You might choose it to display.

It does John! Polish the wheels, they'll come up good and wack it on ebay and people go nuts for them! Don't want to get their own hands dirty
All you need is a bit of wet and dry for the stubborn bits, brasso and a cloth

Beautiful job MM.
That one will make it's money should you choose to flog it.

Look at those rear wheels! 
Polished engines bring a lot more money. That's why I buy the dirty ones.

You have done a superb clean up job there MM.
Why can't I get mine to look like that
Do you use brasso on the firebox as well or do you use chrome polish?

Just brasso, it won't work miracles its got to be good to start with!
Wheels should always come up, the only way I could get that any better is by skimming like 0.5mm off it
The roller wheels don't come up as good as the TE's unfortunately

I havent tried Semichrome on my Rollers wheels yet. If you have not tried that stuff you are missing out. Semichrome is in a class of its own for polishing.
