Hello. I got a nice 22 foot length of Model Motoring straight track. Enough for a scale 1/4 miler. However this track has some corrosion. What are the best ways to clean the rails and tabs on this track? I was thinking wire brush, but would be very time consuming. Was considering erasor, but would be difficult on the tabs. Wondering if baking soda and water mix would work? What can you suggest. Thanks. Jody

For the track itself, I would use a mild detergent.....dish soap.....and wash away the grime. Afetr drying it thoroughly, a Scocth brite pad is an effective way to clean the corrosion from the rails. tAs for the tabs themselves, if you have a dremel tool, you can chuck a brass brush and clean the rtabs quickly that way. Many peole in the model rairoading community use WAHL hair clipper oil on cintacts (verly lightly) to ensure continuity. Use it on the tabs only, not the rails
