I have come across a fair quantity of Hornby 00 track that is in variable condition. I am sure that this question must have been asked before but I find no joy so here goes:-
How is it best to clean old track:- a) When it looks dirty
When there is signs of rust
I have tried household cleaner (Bar Keeper which is like Vim) but that takes everything off including any nickle surface that might still be there. Same goes for Brillo pads. Soap and water with a small brush has not much effect - still not giving a good electrical contact. Or is it best to admit defeat and buy new.
