I have a couple of old boxcars I bought off e-Bay some time back and am just now getting around to checking couplers, wheel sets, etc. I could see inside one of them that there is a wheel inside, so I opened it up to check it out. Sure enough a well balanced metal wheel, about an inch and a half in diameter mounted roughly over the trucks at one end.
I can see no evidence that it has anything to do with track cleaning and if it did have something to do with that the mechanism that would run along the track is long gone.
Any ideas what the wheel might be or do??
Thanks
Bob
