… any micro scratches not only do not inhibit DCC running, but are polished out by running .

I just use a bright boy track cleaning (eraser) and then put a drop of wahl’s clipper oil on both rails and let the train carry it throughout the layout…the clipper oil keeps the track very clean and oxidizing rail metal is never a problem…posted by cwclark[/i]

OIL - any oil attrracts dirt and will pile up on wheels - metal and plastic.
It will keep yor track shiny, but Check your wheels sometime.

I use a fibre-glass brush, which is OK. I want to try out a metal polish. Layout is in a garage and needs regular heavy duty cleaning to keep it running.
