I don't have any grades to speak of on the layout, but, I do not see much engine drive wheel slippage when pulling five cars. I don't know why, but the occasional light coat of WD-40 does not seem to have any noticeable effect on traction.Also, I can truthfully say that I have never cleaned the wheels on my engine or rolling stock during the entire 12 months that I have been operating my layout.  I have always felt that WD-40 is a much better cleaner than it is a lubricant.  In fact, I have used it for years to clean the pots, slide switches, tube sockets and RCA Jacks on my collection of vintage vacuum tube amplifiers.I would suggest that you wipe down a section of your track with WD-40 and find out for yourself if it causes you any problems. After you apply the WD-40, let it set overnight before running your trains on it. You may be pleasantly surprised at the results.Junnie
