I use ATF as well, it does not gum up over time and should be plastic safe; at least it has for me so far.

A drop on carriage wheels will also clean the track and as you run your trains it will also clean your other carriage wheels. A word of warning don’t apply too much to the track as a little will go a long way, a drop about the size of a match head is a good size.

This gives a very small drop that can be applied quite accurately. This is not my own idea but one i picked up a long time ago

Thx
