Dave, coming from you that's a real compliment. I subscribed to your channel, you have done some really good video work with excellent commentary as well. We can thank my son for integrating the running trains with the "lecture" !
After the center of the layout gets put back together, I'll do some short videos with a freight train arriving and getting broken down, and maybe a video spotting coal hoppers up on the mine run.
As for what I am doing the last two days. Watched a number of videos about cleaning track with odorless mineral spirits, and then treating the rails with a product called NO-OX-ID A Special, made by an American Company out of Chicago called SanChem. It's a paste that prevents oxidation and micro arcing, pretty interesting stuff. Anyway, as it may not play nice with traction tires, I am using it on the blackened center "hot" rail of all my Ross and Gargraves track. So far engines are definitely running smoother, and lighted passenger cars and cabooses aren't blinking nearly as much as they were. Only wish I had known about this stuff a few years ago, I would have used it on every Ross/Gargraves track pin.
Here's a link to the information on the product from their company website, I ended up buying a 2 oz. container on Amazon
