Put some Rubbing Alchohol on a T-shirt type rag, Use your fingers on the inside of the rag and wipe down your rails. (one finger on each rail) REPEAT until when this is done with a clean part of the rag and no dirt is coming up anymore. For your Deisel wheels, Rubbing Alchohol on the same rag or a paper towel laid on top of the track. Crank the transformer to full and place the engine One truck on rag, One truck on track. Your engine is spinning wheels but getting clean on rag. Move a little forwards and back and side to side to clean flanges of wheels. Now repeat for other truck. If you run your trains a lot, do this once a week. You can clean the car wheels the same way. Just roll them back and forth on the rag on the track. Keep the rag prety wet too, no matter what you are cleaning. Best of all, the price is right with the Alchohol. ...........Jamie
