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.

constructed from ABS plastic, the block includes a built-in cleaning pad. For really
