I have been useing a compination of Jay Bee, Proto 2000 and Kadee mertal wheels for the last 5 years. I also use Wahls clipper oil very sparingly on my lay out, I have approximately 150 feet of main line which I only clean vigerously once a year. We have a operating session for 4 hours once a month, I only use the Wahls once every couple of months. The layout has not failed me thus far we do use DCC I can run a clean white cloth down the rails for about 30 feet and come up with a light amount of dirt on the rails but not enough to interfear with operations. The trick is in the use of the Wahls, I place the oil on top of the rail for about 1 inch on each track and run a 15 car train through the oil and all over the layout. Thats all it takes. I live in a very dusty climate in Nevada, desert. <br /> <br /> Les Ede
