I am in the Chicago area and need some help. What is the trick to keeping trains running in the snow and when it gets below freezing, I assume that there is something that can be put on the rail (whal clipper oil?) that repels water so that it does not freeze on the rails. I set up a circle of track for the holidays so battery power is not an option, I am using small 4 axle LGB diesel and steam locos, any help is appreciated I just got done crawling around on my knees in the snow cleaning track with a drywall sponge for about an hour to no avail.
Post this on the Garden Railways forum. You will get more replys there. I hang out there a lot to because of my own GRR.
