I am probably teaching my grandmother to suck eggs but a friend long since gone cleaned his tracks with an abrasive pad on the end of a broom handle to save his old knees.After a while he built an amazing clock work track cleaning loco.This superseded by a powerful battery loco that reversed at the end of a siding.Quite remarkable but he was an aviation electronics engineer so knew his stuff. Nice video as usual quite amusing thank you sir.

I use a pad on a stick during the main running weeks when the rails just need a light rub over but the proper track cleaning engine would be idea. Self powered would be the best as you suggest. Cheers, Warren :)

A labour of love. Makes my efforts look a lot less🤔✌️👍💜

It’s just bit by bit. I spent today tidying up some of the rubbish around my bbq as it looked a mess recently! Thank you for following along as well. Cheers. Warren. 🤠

Fascinating, Warren! Can't wait to see the end result!

Hey well, the "end result" may just be a vague concept as there is always more to do, to add, change and develop :) Cheers, Warren :)

It was funny filming behind the bush. Got it all cleaned up there from the winter leaf muck that had got left. Cheers. Warren. 😝🤠

Great to see it coming together, and some good train running there!

it was a relief that the track joiners were good for electrical continuity as sometimes the joiners can be problematic. More trains to run next time. Cheers, Warren :)

Good video good see train running thanks lee

Hi Lee, thanks again for commenting. Yep, it's about time I got some trains running. More again soon is the plan. Cheers, Warren :)

Great video! I have a 00 gauge garden railway, and I use a dremel to clean the sides of the rails for soldering power feed connections and jumper wires connecting the ends of the rails. Before that I used wet & dry sandpaper, I also tried a fibre glass pen to mixed results.

Thanks for your comments here about your way to clean. The dremel is quite harsh but gets the muck off. Cheers. Warren. 🤠

Awesome progress Warren! Actually I don't use track power, I use battery RC power especially for out here in the Arizona heat in the States.

That makes sense. I know some railways here use RC controlled battery locos too. I might go that way for some of my trains for winter running when the track is not fully clean. And I want to invest in some live steam too - now that would be fun. Thanks for following along and your encouragement. Cheers, Warren :)

Hi i use the more powerful pistolsolder. Have followed your progress from start an learned a lot. Thanks😊

I’ve not tried that solder, thanks for the tip. And so nice that you are following along too. Cheers. Warren. 🤠

Have you tried a PCB cleaning /scrubbing block on the track?

I haven’t tried one of those blocks. Good idea. Cheers. Warren 👍
