Track cleaning for beginners and the experienced

I clean my track about once a week. All I use is a track erasor. I found out something very interesting. It seems that not only dust, etc. gets on the track, but it also depends on what make of locomotive you run also. Did you know that Athern locomotives will dirty a track in a hurry? Much faster than what an Atlas or a Kato will. Not only that, but in addition to cleaning the track, I had to (what seemed to be always) take the shell off the Athern engine and clean the inside of it , plus clean the engine wheels as well. <br /> <br />The only thing I've ever had to do with my Kato and Atlas engines is clean the wheels about once a week, and I've had them for two years. I clean the wheels with a Kadee electric wheel cleaner. What used to be a real chore, is now a snap. <br /> <br />
