<p>Hi Snowshoe,</p><p>Thanks for the compliment!</p><p>Yes, WD-40 is an excellent cleaner. I use it to clean heavily oxidized pots, switches and connectors on my collection vintage tube amplifiers. I'm sure it will remove the oxidation from your brass tracks.</p><p>I don't get a lot of driver slippage, but I don't have any grades on my layout. I buy the WD-40 in 1 gallon cans. Once a month, I pour a few ounces in a paper cup, dip a rag in it, and wipe down each rail. I would suggest that you try it on a 10' section of your track and see what happens.</p><p>For your test you can use a spray can of WD-40. Spray the WD-40 on a rag, then wipe down each rail. If there is a lot of oxidation, the first time you do this, I would wipe a coat on, wait 5-10 minutes, and then, with another clean rag, wipe another coat on. This will allow the WD-40 some time to loosen up the oxidation.</p><p>Good Luck!</p><p>Junnie</p><p> </p>
