    The original wheels measure .722” which I covert to 62”. The new wheels are.825”, 71”. The flanges on the original drivers are falling apart. I would have preferred to keep them but they are not salvageable. For economical reasons I am using the larger wheels.

    Ho, Brass Knapp (pre Bowser) 4-8-2 Mountain Restore Project

    The $10,000 question… Can I use alcohol or some type of solvent to remove the contaminated clear coat or will have have to go all the way back to bare metal? I hope I can just remove the clear coat but I have a feeling I’ll be taking it back to bare metal.
