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-

50051) 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.

track cleaning block ( . Durably

constructed from ABS plastic, the block

stuborn track, you can insert sandpaper into the
