Ant Infested Trains

Dave has an unusual problem with his HO trains that he is hoping someone can help him solve:

“I have a limited edition Gresley Brittania from Hornby, the Royal loco with the white roof. It, and my other trains have been in storage at my parents place as I now live in Phuket (Thailand) and have not yet had opportunity to bring them over safely. On a recent visit to Australia I went through all my stuff. While in storage the whole thing, especially the electric motor in the tender became infested with ants. Rubber bushes and tyres no longer exists, steel tyres have fallen off the wheels, and more. Is it possible to fix? How would I go about it?”
