Cleaning The Wheels, Tires, and Track
Periodically check the locomotive wheels and
pickups for dirt and buildup, which can cause
poor electrical contact and traction and
prematurely wear out the neoprene traction tires.
Wheels and tires can be cleaned using denatured
(not rubbing) alcohol applied with a cotton swab.
To clean the track, use RailKing Track Cleaning
Fluid found in Maintenance Kit (30-50010) or
denatured (not rubbing) alcohol and a clean rag.
Unplug the transformer and wipe the rails of the track,
turning the rag frequently to ensure that you are using clean
cloth on the rails. Thereafter, keep an eye on the track and
clean it when it gets dirty to ensure good electrical contact
and to lengthen the life of the tires.
Clean any type of track with this heavy-duty track cleaning
block (
. Durably constructed from ABS plastic, the
block includes a built-in cleaning pad. For really stubborn
track, you can insert sandpaper into the block in just a few
