[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cmrproducts To keep your rails clean, use metal polish (any brand) and then you don't have to keep on cleaning them each time you want to run trains. I haven't cleaned my rails for 2 years now and I am even doing scenery. My sound engines never miss a beat. The metal polish has been a life saver as I would not be able to run trains if I had to keep cleaning the 2600 feet of track all of the time. And I don't have to keep cleaning the engine wheels as much now that I have used the metal polish on the rails. If you like to clean track then keep on doing it the old way! Your choice. BUT I like to run my trains not clean track! BOB H – Clarion, PA [/quote] Very true what cmrproducts and locomotive3 stated, I followed the advice of chrome polish, though I couldn't locate MAAS, I ened up using Mothers, I can a test to spotless performance, and here I am using N gauge and haven't even power my frogs and the engines all perform great. Also keeping the wheels clean adn a regular maint. program on the engines, lube and such. I see all this as being similar to the real thing, polish rails, real guys, rail grinder, clean wheels, real guys, turn the wheels and clean traction motors, lube, real guys FRA engine inspections and maint.
