Cleaning the Wheels, Tires and Track

Periodically check the locomotive wheels and pickups for dirt and buildup, which
can cause poor electrical contact and traction as well as prematurely wear out the
neoprene traction tires.
Wheels and tires can be cleaned using denatured (not rubbing) alcohol applied with
a cotton swab.
