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
(30-50010) 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.
