Has anyone used an ultrasonic cleaner for train wheels? Wheels are hard to clean as you have to rotate the wheel while holding a cloth against them; not easy for someone with aging hands. I plan on using an ultrasonic cleaner on wheel sets removed from their frames. Locomotive wheels are a different matter, but could be removed for a yearly cleaning procedure.

The drive wheels of locomotives can be cleaned if you place the locomotive upside down and feed power via crocodile clips to make the wheels spin at a slow speed.
