Cleaning The Wheels, Tires, and Track

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 (30-50010) 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.
