A tip for cleaning 9v tracks!

[Brickwild]

A Flickr user, called Caleb Randolph disovered a simple, ingenuious solution for cleaning 9v train tracks:
Using toothpaste!

Not only does it clean and polish the rails to "NEW" condition but it also leaves track smelling clean and fresh!
Anyone tried this yet?

Yes! Finally a probable solution of turning my train tracks from the current bronze to the shiny silver they were!!! I need to try this soon... Thanks for posting it.

Ah cheers for the news, this is really interesting

I'll move this to the city forum

Ah, tried this soon after reading it and it didn't work, but that is probably my fault, as I didn't try very hard with the scrubbing. And also I used 10 year old toothpaste...

You can use methylated spirits too! They're a good metal cleaner!
