In your case, light sanding will not kill you. I hear a lot of people cringe when I say sandpaper, but I used to do a lot of autobody work, and some of the finer grits (800 to 1000 and above) barely scratch paint (if you don't use a block, or press too hard,) let alone remove enough metal rail to sneeze at. Sand it lightly due only to the amount of time the track has been dormant. After that keep the track up with the erasers / goo gone. (AND DON'T SHOVE IT IN THE ATTIC EVER AGAIN... SHAME ON YOU!) One more little product I absolutely love.... RAIL ZIP ([url]www.walthers.com[/url]) Rail Zip is great once the rails are clean. It keeps the oxidation down, and helps maintain continuity through most routine buildup with only a few drops here and there. Good luck...
