I Was Dumb Enough To Put This Stuff On My Track (351)

Today I'm finally going to address the issue of cleaning track. And I'm going to start by sharing my thoughts on NoOxID the track cleaning cure all tht you either love or hate. Then I go over what I don't recommend using as well as how I clean my track. Finally I'll introduce a new solution recommended to me by Larry Meir that he has been using for years and which I will be testing out on the Piedmont Southern over the next few months. And hopefully I won't conclude that I was dumb enough to out this crap on my track!

Folks have already started asking for the Amazon link to DeOxIT so here it is. However I suggest you wait until I have a chance to test it and report back to you in a couple of months.
