NO OX ID for improved running? Is this stuff any good?

    I've tried it in the past and think it's kind of a double-edged sword.
    It does reduce oxidization (tested on an outdoor railway) but inside it seems to gather dust which of course ends up on your wheels in the end and requires a clean of track and stock.
    For my specific conditions, the best solution I've come up with is a couple of old Triang cleaning wagons.
    One with felt pad and alcohol, the other modified with a hardboard scrubbing pad on the bottom. Run the pad first and then the alcohol.
    I'd be very interested in a longer-term trial if you're up for it. Cheers!

    Hi Dan, a few us use Inox mx3 to do the same and I believe "WD40 Contact cleaner" (not WD40 itself ) gives the same result. I have a corner on my layout under a scenic section I can't get too easily, that I have not cleaned for years, the rest like yours suffers from dust being in a shed. You will also find your loco and rolling stock will not need cleaning as well as the wheels get coated from running on treated track. So no wheel cleaning on anything. I have not cleaned rolling stock or any loco wheels since I started using which is over 3 years now. Have to say my layout is flat, so no inclines at all. A class 37 pulls 9 Mk4 coaches around my DCC layout on third radius curves with no slow down at all so no slipping of the wheels. This looks to be working just as well as my Inox but I find using the Inox easier as you just spray onto a lint cloth and rub it on the front part of mt layout, let a train run over it and the train does the job of spreading it further around the track. I follow your channel but have to say I really enjoy your "Scenes from the signalbox"
    All the best Peter

    Have not tried this, but have heard that one issue with traction tyres is the grease causing the tyre to lose traction and slip on the track or in the wheel groove.

    An interesting video. Thanks for sharing. I would suggest you invest in a Woodland scenic Track tidy. Saves leaning over and knocking off your figures.

    Review the new track rubber from gaugemaster, it's what I use now & it doesn't scratch like the peco one , makes the track like new & doesn't take a lot of rubbing

    Try measuring the size of the traction tyre as if you leave rubber tyres in oil they will absorb oil and expand

    been using this for years , just have remember less is more and to remove/buff/glisten with a fine cloth,after application,shoulsn't be leaving any marks on a cloth when done correctly and shouldnt get anything like dust sticking then

      interesting, i had the opposite experience. found dust collection was a nightmare and wheel cleaning intervals increased massively. i suppose it could depend how often trains are ran and how large the layout is.

    Just squirt a bit of WD40 on the track cleaning pad. WD40 is also good on the armature windings makes it run smoother.

      wd40 is the worst thing for model railways

    Do you think this would work on a garden railway

      Probably for a short while, until the rain washes it off eventually.
