The TMC Wheel Cleaner – High-Performance, Gentle, and Built to Last

 

The TMC Wheel Cleaner is a premium, precision-engineered solution for keeping your locomotive wheels running smoothly. Designed for modellers who value performance and reliability, it quickly and safely removes dirt, oxidation and even residual weathering paint from driven wheels — all without the need for dismantling your locomotives.

 

Using the cleaner couldn’t be simpler: place the unit directly onto your track and power it through your controller. Electricity is conducted through the base of the cleaner into the ultra-fine bristles, causing your locomotive’s wheels to spin freely while any built-up debris is lifted away. In just a few seconds, you’ll restore consistent electrical pickup and improve running quality across your layout.

 

What sets the TMC Wheel Cleaner apart is the exceptional quality of its brushes. Manufactured from super high-grade phosphor bronze, the bristles are noticeably softer than many alternatives on the market, offering a highly effective clean while remaining gentle on your wheels. They also benefit from a superior lifespan — with regular use, each brush set can last up to two years before needing replacement.

 

Maintenance has been made effortless thanks to simple side screw terminals that allow the brushes to be removed and replaced in moments. Spare brush sets are available separately and come with three spacer units to further extend the versatility of the cleaner.

 

These spacers are ideal for bridging the gap between a steam locomotive and tender or reaching between the bogies of longer modern-image locos. By supporting these areas, the spacers prevent models from dipping, rocking or shorting out, ensuring a smooth and stable cleaning process.

 

For even more flexibility, every wheel cleaner comes with pre-soldered wires and terminals, enabling you to power the cleaner independently for use with a loco cradle. This additional setup option allows you to clean wheels without placing the unit on the layout — simply attach the wires to the underside of the cleaner using the included screws, and connect the other ends to your controller.

 

Multiple TMC Wheel Cleaners can be connected directly together or linked with a spacer, creating an extended cleaning surface ideal for larger locomotives or for running several models through in sequence.

 

Practical mounting platforms along the sides make it easy to screw the cleaner down onto a baseboard or your dedicated maintenance area, giving you a stable, permanent wheel-cleaning station whenever you need it.

 

The OO gauge version is available as either a single or twin pack, offering great value for those looking to equip a workshop or layout with multiple units. All other scales are supplied as single units, but each shares the same compatibility — cleaners and spacers from any scale can be connected together for total convenience.

 

Durable, adaptable and exceptionally effective, the TMC Wheel Cleaner is the essential tool for keeping your fleet performing at its best.
