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.
