Track cleaning car problem?

Choo Choo kennyOGR Forum Member

When I had the layout up in the old house I went to use the track cleaning car. I filed it up with cleaning fluid, put it on the track behind an engine and ran it around the loop. When the engine and cleaning car got back to its starting point they quit moving and the wheels on the engine would just spin. Why? Choo Choo Kenny

What KIND of "cleaning fluid"? Sounds more like you lubricated the track instead of cleaning it.
