Cleaning G gauge track

[zkulmhn]

Does anyone know of a safe and effective way to clean my rusty G gauge track. some pieces are lightly rusted and some a little more.

I used the blue 'pan scrub' side of sponges available at most grocery stores to clean rust of steel O-gauge track on a display layout. It should work for G-scale track. Use it dry, then wipe the track down with a cloth to remove any residue that might be picked up by the motor magnet.

The problem is that the track is thinly tin plated... you should develop a strategy for treating the rails to stop rust... if you are track powered, perhaps one of the tried and true "coatings" to slow down rusting...
