[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by locomotive3</i> <br /><br />loather has a good connection, powered aligation clips from the track to the pick-ups . Turn the loco over and throttle up. <br />I use MAAS, a metal cleaner/polisher. Use a flat end screw driver with a piece of cotton t-short material around the end, apply the MAAS to the material and throttle up. <br />I used this method on a 1963 Lionel HO steam loco that wasn't cleaned in 40 years.WOW! <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />After your "insistance" [;)] on using MAAS on the tracks has worked so well, I think I may try the same on the wheels of the engines. For anyone that hasn't tried the MAAS polish or something similar, let me say that is does work! <br /> <br />Since doing the tracks Locomotive3, I am still getting the same performance from the engines running, and have not cleaned the track since, in fact I have taken my finger and ran it along the top of the rail, and I get no black film. <br /> <br />I think an experiment is in order today on the wheels. <br /> <br />To Locomotive3 [tup], it's odd, sometimes the simple ideas are the best.
