I've been working on my layout but I hadn't ran any trains for over a month. Tonight, I got one of engines and a set of 4 passenger cars (arrived today) on the track (they are lighted). There wasn't any sparking, no smell, but it sounded to me like the wheels and track were hissing or working really hard to get connectivity from the track to the wheels. another way to describe it was that it sounded like a spark but without the actual arcing. Do I need to clean my track or ? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Terry
