I’ve had the same problem. None of mine had run for some 23+ years. I used ‘Eazi’ Track Cleaning Fluid from Finishing Touches, (UK 07984-678395 or 0116-2785134), who I met at the Alexandra Palace Rail Show recently. Using Eazi to totally clean the packed gung, then used a light watch oil. Worked like a dream. The fluid is mainly pure/medical alcohol. Hope this helps. BobT

The Roco’s all are going nicely.
