Clean track/wheels

Slightly stiffer springs, if you can find some.

David I have done the same on my casette player. But those rollers are MUCH thicker than traction tires are an might not any type of cleaning solution weaken the traction tire?

Rubber and isopropylic alcohol are very good friends.

I've been woking with rubber rolls for many years now........

Despite that i never use any liquid cleaners near my locos.

They're thicker, but what matters is that they're the same material (probably some kind of butyl rubber, the stuff they make drive belts out of, same stuff traction tires are made of).

Did I say "low axle load" ;-) 16 tonnes is "low" for central Europe ;-) Though there are tracks that barely carry small DMUs, because of the sorry state they're in... Need to work somewhat on my layouts trackwork, but it has no weight limit as far as N scale locos and wagons are concerned ;-)

Old Piko, do you know them? ;-)

Have a nice weekend (I'll spend mine below the layout working on turnout electrification ;-)

Depending on where in Europe and when in time :-) Nowadays it is.

Yes, yes, but mainly from H0 scale.

But the N-scale is here

And a nice weekend for you too.

Saturday will be spent showing our layout to visitors.

Klaus

Thanks ;-)
