I have an American Flyer train set that has been in storage for years. As one might expect the plain track sections, track switches and wheels on the locomotives need cleaning.
a) Plain track sections. These are simple sections that just plug together. There are no plastic or electrical items such as solenoids, etc. There are a lot of track sections. Is there safe and effective some way to clean these in mass such as dipping them in some solvent? b) Track switches. These include plastic and electrical items. There are only a few track switches. These may likely need to be done individually by hand. Is there a method, a particular solvent, sand paper grit etc., if applicable, that could be recommended? c) Locomotive wheels. It would be nice if these could be cleaned without dis-assembly of the locomotives but maybe dis-assembly is not a big deal and in the end yields materially better results. There are only a few locomotives. Perhaps the answer to this item is similar to item "b" above. Is there a method, a particular solvent, sand paper grit etc., if applicable, that could be recommended?
