All,
This afternoon I stopped by my friend’s home (Also an O scaler) who suggested a Dremel and an old block of “White rouge buffing wheel compound” he had laying around. I was able to put the axle end into the Dremel Chuck and spin the wheel directly against the rouge block. I then took the tender to the club layout. I put some Label 7 on the track to help mitigate arcing and facilitate cleaning afterwards. The engine has NEVER run better. After 45 minutes of running I examined the wheels and noted a small amount of dirt, much less than before, most of which was easy to remove with a Q-tip. What remained will no doubt come off with another polishing but that may not have to happen for a while. I’d still like to buy the NWSL set to experiment with.
