I bought several brass engines many years ago in anticipation of one day having a layout. I opened the box's and to my chagrin the packing foam had broken down into a crumbly mess and was stuck to the models in several places, both on the factory painted units and the laquered brass.
Brushing the foam off left a stickey residue and/or no finish! Is there anything I can do short of total refinsh to recover from this, in my eyes, disaster.
