How do I clean the wheels of my engine?
One easy way is to get yourself a Peco cleaning kit containing a wire brush, wheel scraper, foam cradle and oil.
The foam cradle allows you to turn your loco upside down and give support while cleaning the wheels, or any other form of maintenance.
When cables from the scraper or brush are connected to power supply/track rail, just pop the other end on the pick ups of your engine to set the wheels in motion. Just hold wire brush or scraper on to the wheel and watch it go to work.
This saves you having to find another way to turn the wheels to reach all around. It also makes your life easier as you do not need to brush as the wheels are turning.
