Detailing a Proto 2000 Alco PA

This is going to end up taking a while to get going.  When I received the locomotive it was covered in gear oil.  The first thing I had to do was to remove the shell and fuel tank and wash them thoroughly in dish soap to remove the oil.  In the other photo you can see I have the drive mechanism hanging vertically to allow the oil to slowly drip off the unit.  I really don't want have to take the whole thing apart to clean it.  I will definitely have to remove the side frames to clean them or I will never get paint to stick to them.
