PL43 PECO WHEEL SCRAPER ( NEW BLACK TYPE).
Needs to be used with either another pl43 scraper or a pl42 brush.
These two items are designed for the efficient cleaning of locomotive wheels.
By passing current to the motor via the pick-up wheels, the driven wheels rotate enabling dirt to be removed.
All the modeler has to do is to connect each lead to a 12V DC power supply, one to each terminal.
For DCC the leads can be connected to the rails, or to a "power bus", and selecting the locomotive from the power controller.
The brush and scraper can also be used to clean undriven pick-up wheels, rotating them by hand.
Using the PL-70 Locomotive Cradle will help stabilize the model whilst carrying out these tasks.
Each pack contains a handy clip for storing the tools nearby.
