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 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.
