I have devised (out of necessity) a way to clean AM wheels. My locomotives were
getting quite erratic, and when I saw the gunk built up on the wheels, the
reason was obvious. However, my shoulders dropped at the thought of carving the
gunk off by hand, and I don't have a Kadee wheel cleaning brush.
What I fianlly did was put the locomotives upside down in the cradle I have
built for them, and remove the wheel covers. Then I remove the wheels and leave
them to soak in a concentrated mix of Simple Green and water. The next morning,
an old toothbrush makes short work of the gunk, after which I dry the wheelsets
thoroughly, relube and reinstall them.
Works like a charm
