Happy new year everyone! Trainfam here.

I recently received a number 5 engine for Christmas, and needless to say, it’s going to need some cleaning to get it running. You see, the commutator inside the motor is very dirty, so I have to run it on a high voltage just to get it to move at a slow pace. The locomotive motor has been restored with the wiring being replaced, so really the commutator can be the main problem. My main question/ problem and reason for posting is because I need help with trying to find what is the best method for cleaning the commutator. Any help would be appreciated.
