How Do You Clean An LGB Train Track?
Trains run better when the track is clean. Since LGB trains can be used outside, keeping the track clean is a regular maintenance job. Bugs, leaves and other debris will make their way onto your track. The biggest culprit is oxidation. This rusty film will slow down your train, if not stop it completely. If you do not feel like shelling out hundred of dollars for an automated track cleaning locomotive, then roll up your sleeves and get the elbow grease ready. Clear heavy debris from the track. Leaves, loose dirt and other debris can be easily swept away with a soft broom. Take care not to pull the track from its place when sweeping. Wipe down the track with a cloth soaked in alcohol. An innocent bug walking along the track becomes a slimy mess when run over by a screeching locomotive. Snails and slugs crawling along the track will leave a slimy trail in their wake. Tree sap leaves its sticky mark anywhere it lands. Alcohol is a solvent which can quickly dissolve and remove these messes
