How do you clean white spots off the locomotive shell?
sneezes - Welcome to Trains.com! [C):-)]
if it is a diecast steamer I use Armoral
I have had these too, but on a postwar F3.
I took the shells off and washed them gently in kitchen soap sudsy warm water using toothbrush and sponge. Came out pretty good, but not perfect.

Okay you had me laughing hard the title was WHITE SPOTS by Sneezes was just to much for me. Good question thou once I got in. I was going to say carry a handkerchief
If it’s plastic, try a hairdryer on low. And [#welcome]!

I’d try vinegar, it’s a calcium deposit.
As mentioned by Gunrunnerjohn, what you have are calcium deposits, and best solution is a DILUTED mix of vinegar and water, not full strength. Dilute to about 50-50 mix and wipe the deposits off with clean rag.
Let it sit on the surface for some time and they should be easy to remove. Note that there might be some marks left behind that you can’t get, but most of it should come off.
