In my case when a loco stalls I clean both the track and the rollers on my engines especially. And I don't use smoke. Of my seven engines, three I bought were gently used and the rollers on those have moderate wear and tend to collect dirt easier. I found inspection of track continuity is another part of happy running. I had two areas of track that were a problem with a couple of engines and discovered that I missed screwing down the track there and the track would sink just enough to cause a loss of continuity. I shimmed the ties and it fixed it without redoing the rail connectors. Cheers.
