Does anyone know how to remove stuck on foam from a model train locomotive left to long in its box? I have an Alco KTM 1970 GE U33 C that needs help.

Not 100% sure about this....but how about Goo Gone: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Magic-Goo-Gone-Citrus-Solvent-8-oz-Bottle-2087-Removes-Gum-Grease-and-Tar/371779116206?hash=item568fc31cae:g:UuAAAOSwA3dYGenI

Try soaking the body in alcohol.

Acetone nail polish remover should do it. That's brass isn't it?
Looks like it got salvaged from bottom of the sea.

I've used Goo Gone, suggested as a track cleaner, my
personal experience is that it leaves a nasty residue.
