Hi,
After cleaning my track yesterday, I noticed a build-up of crud on the non-traction tire wheels on my MTH FP-45 locomotive. While I was able to clean off about a 1/3 of the wheels' circumference without a problem using some 99% ISO alcohol since it's facing up, there's still the remainder facing down (inward to the locomotive) that needs cleaning as well. You can't "hand roll" the wheels around like you can on some of the old Lionel locomotives.
Page 13 of the MTH owner's manual provides a lot of detailed guidance here: "Wheels and tires can be cleaned using denatured (not rubbing) alcohol applied with a cotton swab." Well, that is truly informative. 
(I'm sorry, my noo-jurzee sarcasm popped out there as I yet again re-read the part where the manual tells you what to do; not how to do it!)
Has anyone found an an easy technique for cleaning this particular locomotive's wheels all the way around without taking it half apart like you have to do when lubricating it (Pages 12 & 13) or changing its traction tires (Page 14) ?
(I've lubed this locomotive and changed its tires a few times in the past, so I know how to take it apart. I'm just not looking forward to that hassle again if someone has a simpler method of cleaning the wheels.)
Thank you!
