Track Cleaning
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, December 18, 2006 10:07 PM

After 3 years, I finally got to pull my Lionel Train out of storage.  It runs fine, but the track is dirty and 'crud' builds up on the wheels quite quickly.  I am guessing that normal track cleaning fluids would work fine, but I wanted to toss this out to the experts to get some different opinions. 

Thanks in advance.

You would get much better help on the 'Classic Trains' forum.

True.   And don't forget, after you clean the track, also clean ALL your wheels BEFORE you put them back on the track or you'll have dirty track again in a New York minute!
