Hi Guys, I just came across this interesting video about track cleaning. I really makes you think and goes away from what a lot of folks are using. Says not to use isopropyl alcohol to clean track. Please let me know what you all think!

Have a great Monday and please find time for your layout and trains! Oh and don't forget to have fun!

Interesting and enjoyable video Mike, and his points are made well, especially if you run N, HO or, I guess, modern Legacy, DCS, etc trains.

Me? I run Pre and Postwar Lionel on traditional tubular track and have used Isopropyl Alcohol for 35 years for track cleaning with no problems.

I will, after seeing this video, try electrical contact cleaner on my N gauge wheels and amusement part ride loop
