Wheel cleaning

My locomotive wheel cleaning is done with a length of cotton matirial, like an old sheet, cut into strips, and laid on the rails. I soak the material with goo gone and hold the locomotive while each truck spins through the cleaning patch, just be shure to leave one truck on the rails for electrical pickup while the other one is being cleaned, it doesn"t take long, and all the black gunk from the wheels will be transferred to the goo gone soaked cloth. I remove the engine, and switch to an alcohol soaked cloth, and repeat the process, this removes the goo gone from the wheels, which will leave an undesireable film on the rails if left uncleaned, I can clean several locomotives wheels in only a few minutes time useing this method, try it, it works really well, with minimal effort. Cheers <br /> <br />Mac
