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 (30-50051) 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.
