track cleaning
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, November 3, 2004 11:07 AM
OK gang here we go again with another question on how to clean track, I have used just about everything there is from maas,bright boy, and goo gone. When I use goo gone with a track car it only lasts for a few weeks and then I have to use it again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

after you clean the track with a bright boy or goo...add a very thin (and i mean very thin) layer of wahl's clipper oil on the rails...the way i do it is place a small drop on the rail and let the engine's wheels carry it out onto the layout....it keeps the rails and the wheels clean for a long time...Chuck[:D]

I traded up from the $69.00 centerline to Tony's $99.00 clean machine.
I restructed by firing Tony and going with the $3.50 MAAS paste. IMO, the paste out performs. How did you apply it?
