Cleaning The Wheels, Tires And Track; Headlight Replacement Instructions - Lionel Super 381 Operator's Manual

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 Maintenance Kit (30-50010)
contact and to lengthen the life of the tires.

( 40-1099) . Durably constructed from ABS plastic, the block
includes a built-in cleaning pad. For really stuborn track, you can
