       Märklin Blues

       [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Think i might have
       overrestored a Märklin here? :D [/font]
       [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Have a little tired
       looking 4095/5 here, which i casually look at from time to time,
       while trying to decide what to do with it.[/font]
       [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][attachimg=4][/font]
       [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Yesterday, while
       searching the workshop for a quick project, i noticed that the
       black cylindercover had lived a rough life, with very little of
       the original black paint left.[/font]
       [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]So decided to remove
       it, sand it down, and give it a fresh coat of paint...so that at
       least one thing could look good on it.[/font]
       [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I got just past the
       sand it down part, and was then otherwise engaged, so left it on
       the bench there.[/font]
       [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Today i was trying
       to bring some life into a tired looking shotgun barrel, and
       while rubbing away on that, i figured i´d try the Birchwood
       Super Blue on the Märklin cover as well.[/font]
       [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]It could do no harm,
       since it can be polished off again quite easily, and it was
       destined for a paintjob anyway.[/font]
       [attachimg=1]
       [attachimg=2]
       [attachimg=3]
       [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]It actually didn´t
       come out halfbad on there, and think this little bugger is going
       to have to live without a painted cover [/font]8)

       Think you've got a winner there Jan .... if it will stand up to
       steam and oil, which it should!

       What I've seen so far is very good. If you continue like this,
       the steam engine will definitely be a real eye-catcher again.
       Fun to follow your report.😃
