"HONGZ" stands for HO scale, N scale, G scale, and Z scale.

Post your non-O scale stuff here!

What method do you use to clean your track? I've read that for Marklin track some users claim wiping it down with Goo Gone is best while people prefer track cleaning cars and some folks use both methods.
If you use a track cleaning car, which brand/one do you like best?
Also, does anyone use a wheel cleaner to clean their locomotive's wheels? How important is it to clean a steam engine's wheels? Btw, I have Marklin set 81846.

You ask excellent question.Trust me on this one:Wenol metal polish is what you want to clean your track and engine wheels.My dad bought a bunch of new Marklin Z gauge trains in the early 1990s.Most of the engines are shown in the bottom photo.He lost interest quick in the trains because they did not run well.After he passed away in 2014,I cleaned the wheels and track with the Wenol metal polish and all the engines ran silky smooth.Wenol metal polish tubes are sold on Ebay.
