Thanks to all! I’d tried a little bit of lacquer thinner, didn’t appear to have any effect, but I’d just brushed it on. Looks like I’ll need to sink the car into a dish of it. I tend to user better trucks (Tahoe, usually) so no need to do anything with the brass ones.

Back in the old days we used lacquer thinner but make sure you don’t put the wheel sets in as the thinner will dissolve the nylon insets used to insulate the wheels.
