Ive heard it said that brite boys put tiny scratches in track that attracts dirt and such( but I have never tried it ) I use super fine wet/dry 1200 paper and alcohol or cr-2 and buff. I have also polished (gleamed ) in side of helix with good results ,but I ALWAYS wipe down with Cotton T-shirt to get dust off before I run ...Jerry
We all know that clean tracks are essential to reliable and pleasant operation of our layouts. With a little bit less than 200 linear feeth of tracks (not an empire, but not a simple oval either) my actual cleaning method witch involve almost exclusively the use of the well known Brightboy pad has become an unpleasant task. I am still to find an efficient (excellent results with the lower level of effort possible) strategy to do the job.
Please, let me know what is your best track cleaning strategy.
