<p>The track I used on my layout was a gift from a friend, who had not been using it for years. When it arrived at my place, it was so heavily oxydized, that there was no conductivity at all. I used a Roco track cleaner pad to give the track a real good"scrup" - boy, what a mistake! That track attracted dirt and grime just like Pigpen from the Peanuts.</p> <p>A couple of weeks ago, I tried gleaming for the first time and I am a convert now. No more abrasive tools used for track cleaning by this gentleman, yes Sir!</p> <p>I can only recommend to go through the hard labor of gleaming all your track! And while you are at it, don´t forget to clean all the wheelsets and get rid of all the plastic ones!</p>
