I recently pulled out my old trains and decided to clean them up and put together a layout. I'm pretty new to the hobby so I realy don't know much about it right now. My question is, what is the best way to clean the motors of my locomotives (diesel & steam)? Can I use stuff like CRC Lectra-Motive electric parts cleaner ( the stuff you use for car starters, alternators, electric tools, etc.)? I bought a new loco and it runs soooo smooth compared to my old engines. The old ones seem sluggish & noisy. Does anyone have any tips. Thanks in advance. <br /> <br />Nobby
