A Cheap Loco Wheel Cleaner

Roger sent in this tip for a cheap loco wheel cleaner.

“Take a copper brush, and cut out center bristles. Thread a copper wire through the bristle base, making each set one hairy conductor!
Add a jump lead and crocodile clip to each side. Power up your railway, clip one to each track. Hold the loco with wheels touching brushes and off it goes. Great for older loco’s that have been left standing.”
