Want to open a discussion. We keep hearing about cleaning track. And how some things scratch the rails. How some stuff can harm plastic. Etc. Notice that the latest What's Neat/Ken Patterson video shows him using a file to clean points. Ouch. I suppose it depends on how often you need to, and how much you run. But I like to do a quick clean with some acetone, wipe just the top of the rails. Then wipe very lightly with graphite. Do this as often as I can find time to do it. Once a week? Try to run cars every day, or at least every other day.

Here is a very nice video of the Siskiyou Line.  The Medford train heading to Hornbrook. 

The video has 1 dislike and I thought it may have been Joe because no SP units were used in the filming of the video. ;)
