Hello Reinhard, as soon as we start heating the house due to cold weather conditions the "fiber threads" start appearing on the wheels and trucks.
IMO it's due to static electricity caused by dry air and wheel friction on the rails.
I recently had to clean all the wheels on my locos, it's a pain to remove all these little pieces of fiber.
The rest of the rolling stock will be cleaned when the heating will be turned off.
Good luck!
