A Wheel Cleaner

Have you ever considered where the dirt on your track could be coming from? Or how it is spread? You may have cleaned your track, but have you cleaned your wheels? All your wheels?

A GP-7 pulling 9 freight cars has a total of 44 wheel sets. You probably have cleaned only the 4 on your Geep. What about the other 40 wheel sets?

Do you operate steam locomotives? When was the last time you cleaned the wheels on the lead and trailing trucks? The wheels on the tender pick up power and DCC signals for smooth locomotive operation. But have you cleaned them?

 

Trucks shown below are G-Scale.

 

A Diagnostic Tool

Do you have freight or passenger cars that shimmy under operation - and you don't know why?

The Wheel Doctor will help you check the following irritants:

  • Wheels mounted square on the axle
  • Straightness of the axle
  • Binds or imperfections in the journal side frames
  • The Wheel Doctor from Bachrus will help you clean and check the wheels on ALL your non-powered axles: a motorized drive shaft that operates on 12V-DC or 12V-AC for scales Z to G.

    Can be used with most cleaning agents.
