Very neat and tidy engines there, both of them.
Nice buys!
MM1 looks to have had very little use.
And the chrome on the TE1a looks in real good condition _________________

The Te1a should clean up well mine was in worse condition.
I find the best way to clean the chrome is '000' steel wool wet with water and dish washing liquid. It will remove the rust and not damage the chrome.
Engine degreaser works pretty well at removing soot too.
Just make sure its one that doesn't damage paint. _________________ http://www.freewebs.com/ozsteam/index.htm
