I use all three types on my railroad and the only ones that have caused me trouble is the Kadee....and then only in certain situations.....but I also have the Tony's Train Exchange Track Cleaner used with 90% Alcohol....but the other day several guys from Danville Ky were here looking at my monster....I run Digitrax Dcc....my engines were loping around the track if they would make it at all.....one of them laughed and said that they would let me in on a little secret if I did not tell the world....about clean track....they said to go to the garage and get some Automatic Transmission Fluid and put tiny drops on the track and that it would make my trains run better and the Sounttraxx modules would sound better....I laughed and asked what type Ford or GM....either one they said....so I did try it....lo and behold it worked....my trains run better than ever and the sounds are wonderful....I have not cleaned my track in over three months now and am still having great results....I have learned not to laugh at other folks suggestions for one thing....right now I have about 600 cars and all have metal wheel sets....also the Track Cleaning Car is sitting on a siding not being used..... <br /> <br />Jerry Ashley in Louisville, Ky
