My children's layout is on a folding 5' x 8' board. When not in use it's kept in a fairly dry garage.
When I took it out this weekend, the dcc trains ran fine for a while and then started to behave a bit erratically.
I noticed that on a locomotive that the lights flickered as it went round the track.
Is this dirty rails at work?
I've read that you need to clean tracks and wheel sets on a regular basis, but how often?
Is there's a rubber for the track but is something that will do this automatically?
Also how about rolling stock and loco's. It's quite hard with diesel locos to clean the wheels, as the gearing prevents access to all the wheel at once?
Any suggestions would be most helpful.
