    Well, it has been quite a while since my topic was circulated. This was the 'GLEAM' item that stirred some interest as well as skeptisism. For those who remember, I happened upon a method for treating the rails, particularly nickel type, though it works on other types. To keep this post short, I suggest a search on 'gleam'.     The current status of this method on our museum layout,  <a href="http://www.sfrm.org/">www.sfrm.org</a> , the helixed HO project, is as follows;        * All track, including turn-outs, get 'gleamed'. This is done only once.        * The entire trackage can be wiped down (aprox. 800 ft) in 4 hours by ONE MEMBER!        * No abrasives , cleaners, cleaner cars, polish. Only dry wipe with ragged train t-shirt.         * Almost 2 years on some trackage, and it still shines.    This is in a historical depot warehouse with huge roll-ups that do not keep out the humid South Florida air very well. The A/C is arcaic at best. Still, once in two years beats once a week..........
