malB Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Depends on how much of it you use. Provided you've drunk enough India Pale Ale eventually you won't careless one way or another 😮. On that note I'll get my hat & coat and stagger off home.... 😉! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick38 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I use Peco abrasive pads for track cleaning and white spirits to clean loco wheels. I find that the n/s track very quickly acquires a yellowish coating, hence the need for frequent cleaning. The layout is in a garage/workshop. Any ideas on what the coating is please? And how to inhibit it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2e0dtoeric Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 WTG could also be Giraffe?! (It would stand out in a crowd!) 😛Yellow film on the track - nicotine? 😉Now I'll get told off again by Adam! If I seem to go quiet for a week or three, I'm in the naughty bin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 ...I find that the n/s track very quickly acquires a yellowish coating,...Any ideas on what the coating is please? And how to inhibit it?The article said it was nickel oxide, i.e. nickel rust, but I thought that was the black gunge.There must be a benign conductive coating one could apply, like a thinned down version of electric paint or that expensive silver loaded lacquer you can buy to fix your car screen heaters.Hence probably why the ‘oily’ cleaners seem to work well as they protect the rail after cleaning it.

Rule 1 Applies Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I've been using IPA for decades and, frankly, I'm surprised that it'll clean anything. Although it can be a very effective lubricant, especially on a sunny afternoon./media/tinymce_upload/e6515a1473e24f62f54560fdda6cab37.jpgAnyone from the 'we all assume everyone knows what we're talking about' in-club care to explain to a part-time railway modeller what IPA stands for in this context?

Rog RJ Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Isopropyl alcohol. There are many, many references to it on the forum. It's also known as isopropanol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
