QUOTE: Originally posted by locomotive10 Hey Ya'll Are you tired of cleaning your rails in the garden dry? Are you tired of buying gallons and gallons of expensive track cleaning fluid, well your prayers have been answerd with my new, fulproof recipe or track cleaning fluid that uses ordinary, everyday mateirials. After several hours slaving away in my "Lab", and trying several cleaning chemical combinations, I have the solotion. This track cleaning fluid leaves your brass rails and or stainless silver rails or any knid of rails shining and clean like a Dutch Wistle. The fluid is very easy to make and it takes less than 2 minutes to mix it all togeather. Here is the recipe: 1. 2 parts Rubbing Alchol (To kill the germs and disenfect the rails) 2. 2 parts Windex or STRONGER (To give the rails a brand new squeaky clean shine that can't be beat) 3. 1/2 part Water (To mildley dilute the mixture and wa***he dirt away) I have tested it on the following scales and brands of track: N (All brands), HO (All brands), O(2 and 3 rail), and G (LGB and Aristo code 332. it works on 225 as well) Nick
QUOTE: Originally posted by iandor Yes Nick Iam worried about the corrosive aspect as well, I am also concerned about residue, it may look good but what about unseen residue and its long term effects when subjected to constsistant electrical arcing. Have you done any long term research into the affects of:- 1/ Electrolysis using AC and DC power supplies. 2/ The affects of it on residue left by ferns and palms in tropical conditions. Please advise. Respectfully yours Ian
