OK folks, I tried Wal Mart, Canadian Tire, a local lumber chain store, Home Depot and Rona. All said that they no longer have it. I finally convinced a local body shop to "donate" a quart from his 55 gallon drum. I'll pick it up tomorrow afternoon, weather permitting. There might be a Canadian law or some sort of directive that regulates the sale of "sniffable" liquids.
Thanks for the help.

In Winnipeg you should be able to find lacquer thinner(Walmart, Canadian Tire, etc...). The lacquer thinner really does a good job of cleaning off the really attached crud. Once you run a CMX cleaning train with lacquer thinner, follow up trains of 91% isopropyl alcohol as needed should keep it clean. The lacquer thinner really cuts the crud and residue from old track cleaning solutions you may have tried....

Lacquer thinner is one of the most aggressive cleaners. Unless the track is severly dirty, the 90% alcohol should clean fine and does not leave a residue.

I agree, the toluene might be a bit strong for plastic ties holding your track together and such. If you cannot find the laquer thinner, you might try rubbing alcohol with a 90% solution.
