Rust on track
« on: December 09, 2020, 05:08:11 pm »
Hello , I am new to the O gauge and train s in general. I inherited my dads post war set and live in Texas, I have not had set that long and noticed since I set it up rust has started to form and metal parts. It is set up in my garage, how doi I stop this and clean rust from metal parts and track before it gets out of hand.
Thank You

Welcome to the forum!

Set up a dehumidifier in the garage to help control the moisture level in the air.

Light rust on the track can be removed with a ScotchBrite pad.
