Ok guys, found me some Naphtha at Lowe’s yesterday but didn’t have time to sit down and clean my track yet. I have a Lionel flatcar I picked up in a flea market for $12! But it’s got light surface rust on the wheels and axles. So two questions here: (1) do you use a rag only with the Naphtha or can you use it with steel wool or a scour pad??? (2) steel wool or scour pad for model railroad service??? I heard steel wool is bad for everything: motors, gears, trucks etc due to the little steel fibers that come off during use???
