markperr, having made the same decision, may I offer a maintenance regimen for cleaning (polishing) brass track that works for me. In return, I hope for future input for discovering any improvements or preferred methods by responders. You may be familiar with a product called "Duro Naval Jelly" (Rust Disolver). It is used around marinas, dry docks, etc. for removing oxidation and rust from brass fixtures on power and sail boats. Phosphoric acid is the principal ingredient, so care must be used as per instructions, i.e. gloves, et al. After 2 or 3 applications of the Naval Jelly (wiped clean), I use "Never Dull" polishing pads as a final application which brings brass to a fine polish. On the most exposed rail, I solder track sections together with 18 gauge stranded speaker wire (jumper cables appx. 1-1/2" long). I've been considering applying shrink tape over the exposed solder joints. It may not be worth the mess in case of an unplanned "clean-up." Also "tape" may be unsightly. Frequent track car cleanings will make repeating this time consuming proceedure to a minimum. I would be grateful for any ideas that might bring the same results with less "elbow grease" and inconvenience. Best of luck to all of you.
