[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by JCtrain I got some American Flyer track and its ancient, or its been sitting in a leaky attic. And can you use WD-40 on rusty/dirty track? [/quote] I read through all the replies and there are many very good points. I may have missed it but how badly is the track rusted? Does the track just have a light surface rust or "pitted", extremely corroded rust? If it is extremely corroded to the point where the metal is pitted then it may not be useable. If the corrosion isn't real bad, just a light surface corrosion, then I would use a cotton swab and the WD-40. Once the rust is removed wa***he WD-40 film off with alcohol. Work carefully and be sure not to get the insulation that is inside the rails wet with whatever you decide to use.
