A New Old Stock 42/11 Crown Wheel & Pinion for the Spares Cupboard

I picked this up on eBay recently for a good price, and took a gamble that it was only covered in surface rust, with no serious pitting.

Straight out of the box, a little concerned at this stage by how "deep" the surface rust may have been.

Four hours in the "magic" Rust Buster, looking good.

A wire brush down and its looking better
