I have been a H O modeller since 1965. All of my rolling stock have metal wheels [mostly Atlas and some KaDees]. The only thing I use is DD40,the bolt loosner metal cleaner product. Sometimes my layout might set a year or longer without turning a wheel.so long that little spyders build webbes between the cars.After setting all that time all I do is hit the power and we're back in business.I take a paper towel cut in to stripes the withe of the track ,fold it up till its square ,spray it good with DD40. I put it under a heavy car at the rear truck then a good loco pulls it around being careful at turnouts or any where the paper might get caught [raised track nails is always a problem]. After I have done the DD40 I take the remainder of the stripes folded the same way and drag them around frequently turning them over. <br />I have a lot of brass rail and some nickel silver and my trains are always ready to go. This is the cheapest and best way i've found to clean track .It works good in tunnels too. Mustache <br />
