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.
Wheels 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.
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.
