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 and a clean rag or

denatured (not rubbing) alcohol.

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.
