It may sound a little heavy handed, but I have cleaned a lot of loco wheels with a wire brush in a Dremel tool!! Safety glasses are mandatory for this operation... While this is not as hard on the wheels as it sounds, I think that if you were to do this every day the wheels might , eventually, wear out!!! <br /> <br />Check for traction tyres, first, as they will not survive the first cleaning. But do not ignore the traction tyres: they will grip better if you clean them with a little alcohol. <br /> <br />Allan Lees
