Having a large layout with considerable hidden track is a constant chore keeping it clean. The best I have found to date is GooGone. I have a track cleaning car that has a roller with a paper wiper that I wet with the GooGone. I place the car in front of the engine and send 'er around the system. GooGone is a citric based product and is useful as a general cleaner/solvent, inexpensive and safe to use. It helps to keep the wheels clean as well. I have not had any reaction with plastics or other materials. <br />Before an operation session a couple of runs around the system and everything is a "go". You may still need to clean a section using the usual methods occasionly but it will cut down on track maintance. With 300 feet of mainline (HO) to maintain, GooGone has been a blessing. It used to be that the frist hour of an operating session was spent cleaning track. Not anyh more.
