I have used WD-40 on a pad to run my locomotives' wheels on for a cleaning procedure. The WD-40 did remove a lot of black dirt and the locomotives ran well after the cleaning.
I did notice that after the locomotives "sat" for awhile, they would act as if they had dirty wheels.
I have since stopped using WD-40 to clean locomotive wheels and now wonder if the WD-40 didn't leave some form of residue on the wheels that affected electrical pickup.
Has anyone else found this to be a problem if they use WD-40 as a wheel cleaner?
Thanks.
