3462 milk car

6019 track works for the milk car. Look for a broken wire at the solder tab on the coil couplers.

Thanks you. I have another question . on the trucks i have tried qtip and alcohol to clean the hot shoe and small copper spring contact. I s there any other way, i mean i have continuity just very tedious.

Unless your track is really filthy, the shoes shouldn't need cleaning very often. The copper spring you really need to be careful. It doesn't take much to get that spring out of kilter. The only time the shoe comes in contact is while it is riding over the control rails. The rest of the time it 'just hangs there'.

Thank you very much. I am cleaning the 6019 to get better contact thanks
