Don, That's good information. I'm going to stop using the stuff. An article
in Model railroader several years ago suggested using it for track and wheel
cleaning. Bob in Kalispell To: [email protected]

Goo Gone... One of our customers decided to clean his SHS freight car
wheels with Goo Gone. He dipped each truck into the solution and then wiped
down the wheels. The delrin bearings slowly dissolved as he ran the freight
cars around. We replaced the trucks for him. I just wonder what Goo Gone over
time might do to the tiny delrin spikes on the plastic ties of flex track?Don

It all boils down to "whatever works for you."
Personally, even though my layout's in an unfinished basement, I only
occasionally have to run a Centerline track cleaning car with Goo-Gone on the
roller.
For the occasional tough spot in switch points or nasty dark spot, I use a
Brite-Boy.
I've also noticed my DC locomotives tend to find the nasty spots faster than my
DCC locomotives.
