My Genesis engine has the same problem. The way I have tackled that is to clean the rails with a track eraser once a week. To clean the wheels on the engine I use the same eraser. What you do is take alligator clips to your motor and plug it in to your variable voltage on your power supply. Start it up using a very low speed, say about 25 %. Take the track eraser and gently press it onto your wheels. Don't press too hard or you could damage the motor. Glide the eraser back and forth like a saw all the way around. This solves the problem of the engine. As far as the car I gently pull them off the trucks and with a very soft cloth i clean the wheels, then remount them. If this doesn't help, I tried. <br />Ramsi sends
