Several month ago (mid 2013?) happened something very unusual to my layout. Most of the wheels collected excessive dirt.
The top photo shows how the dirt sticks like a rubber tire on the wheel. The black mountain on the lower photo is the dirt of that one wheel removed with a small screw driver. The dirt is very robust. I use a rotary brass brush in my Dremel to clean the wheels.
I cleaned lots of wheels and the rails and the excessive amount of dirt never returned.
The layout is a home office room in a condominium in the 4.th floor. There are no pets etc. The floor is mostly parquet flooring with only very few small rugs. Do you have any clue what may have happened?

I must have forgotten to clean some cars but stored them away. I found them today when I changed the layout theme and had my "fun" cleaning them too.
