Yes, track has to be cleaned regularly, even on operating layouts. You did not say what kind of track you are using - brass or nickel silver. Brass is the worst, as it corrodes and the corrosion does not conduct electricity. Nickel silver's corrosion does conduct electricity but it is also affected by dust and dirt on the track. Don't forget to clean the wheels on your locomotives, as they too accumulate dirt that prevents them from picking up power. Good luck! Bob Boudreau
