I am curious if anyone else has ever used a short piece of NS track (3-6") to clean & "polish" the track on their layouts.
I have been doing this for quite awhile now & seem to have decent success
This sounds similar to "gleaming" using a stainless steel flat washer.

old school...LOL
Just remember to turn off track power
Not sure how to do that. Could you elaborate?
I take a short piece of scrap NS track 3-6" in length flip it upside down and at right angle to the layout track (rail head to rail head) & move it along the top of the rails with moderate pressure
Use it as you would any other type of track cleaning material or tool. Since both the track & "cleaner" are of the same material, density etc..there is vertually no risk of damage to the track.... scratching, pitting, nicking, etc
