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.
