Best way to clean your loco's???

[Kutter]

Hey everyone. 

Just looking for a litte help for the best way to clean my loco's.  In the past I've used a track cleaning brick and a rag with rubbing alcohol.  I was wondering if anyone had a better idea???

 

Thanks for the help!!!

Thanks Jeffery.

My club is hosting a train show next month, so I'll take a look at the show for one there.

Thanks again.

I used the Kadee wheel cleaner for years, until I realized that it was just too abrasive.

After many cleanings scratches are evident. Some of the wheels would get dirtier much faster.

Now I run the wheels on an alcohol wetted paper towel on the track. Run the engine until one truck is on the towel, as the wheels are spinning sliding the unit to cleaner spots, rock the truck side to side and the side of the flanges get cleaned also. Reverse and do the same w/ the other truck.
