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 and a clean rag or denatured (not
rubbing) alcohol. 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.
