American Models RS-3 wheels cleaning

Joe McGee & Mary Bridge All Messages By This Member #170894 How do I clean the wheels on this diesel?
Michael Lytle All Messages By This Member #170895 The easiest method I know is to dampen a rag with mineral spirits and place it under the rear truck, place the front truck on the track, hold the engine and power it up moving the engine back and forth to spread the wheel dirt on the rag. Do the same to the front truck. Dispose of the rag accordingly. Good luck Mike, Ohio toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Mon, Jun 17, 2024, 4:20?PM Joe McGee & Mary Bridge via <d7efsmith=[email protected]> wrote: How do I clean the wheels on this diesel?

ken garber All Messages By This Member #170897 I used to lay a piece of paper towel on the track with track cleaner or whatever soaked in (not?a lot?though) And like Bill, run up the power and do one truck at a time.

Rich Gajnak All Messages By This Member #170901 I would go with the paper towel method.? I used the Kadee wheel cleaner during my HO days and don't think it's that effective.? Plus, with the paper towel you see how much gook is coming off the wheels. Rich G(ajnak)

ken garber All Messages By This Member #170903 Years ago, in my HO days, I would occasionally clean the really dirty wheels with a Dremel. Body off, and clip lead the engine leads to the track. Bring up the power a bit, and (most everyone will cringe) use a Dremel with wire brush attachment to buff down the wheel surfaces, one wheel at a time. :) Ken G. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Mon, Jun 17, 2024 at 6:27?PM Paul Vaughn via <pev.sn3=[email protected]> wrote: With a fiberglass eraser.
