I had to do a lot of rail cleaning about a year or so ago and i recalled that when I was young and Australia wasn't a metric country we had pennies. If you immerse a penny overnight in white vinegar it would be pristine and shining the next morning. <br /> <br />To this end i soaked the ends of many of my rails in vinegar and then rinsed off with clean water and I got terrific results, as i then was able to soldered them ok. <br /> <br />I have an new problem now, my rails seem to have absorbed some oill from countless hours of use. I am thinking of painting the contact surface of the rails with vinegar and leaving for a while then hosing off. <br /> <br />What do others think. <br /> <br /> <br />regrds Ian
