1 month after using Inox I’ve had no issues what so ever. Cleaned again today and cloth was filthy but no running issues at all.👍 hoping for same again this month 🤞

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

That’s great news Richie. Regards Charlie

[@henrikdagil3684]

When you get a notification on a friday, and the video starts with: welcome to chadwick model railway, im charlie, then you know its going to be one hell of a good weekend, allways a pleasire to watch your videos, cheers mate

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

You are far too kind Henrik. Regards Charlie

[@willsagraves6535]

The hanging of track on the clothesline had me bursting with laughter, didn't expect that one bit. Great video, Charlie!

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

As long as it made you smile during these dark times will, then I’ve won!

[@Ron_Ventura]

I think we all won, Charlie. Thanks for your videos, they are a highlight of the week.

[@alistairkidd7204]

Your videos are great, thank you. For the track drying tip, what kind of pegs do you recommend?

[@peterstecks7660]

Washing machine or dishwasher...? Drying cycle? No point having the tools if you don't use them.

[@kriso1891]

Loved the intro. Can just see track being pinned out on the washing lines across the land 😂. Your sense of humour sure hits the spot. Thanks Charlie

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

I must admit, it’s one of my favourite intros. Regards, Charlie

[@kriso1891]

Thanks Charlie - it has simplified what should have been a simplified task that has been over complicated with all the different products and advice. Unfortunately as I run steam and many have traction tyres I am unable to use the oxy but the grasphite block sounds a great investment. I also didn’t know about the IPA and percentage.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Sorry that the video wasn’t of any, but perhaps good background information. Regards, Charlie.

[@kriso1891]

@@ChadwickModelRailway yes the background information was excellent Thanks Charlie

[@DAVIDJGLOVER1952]

Very informative as usual Charlie. many thanks. Interesting that you peg your track out on the line to dry it, how lucky you are. up here in the cold wet North West we usually have to put ours through the Mangle and finish it off on the Clothes Horse in front of the Coal Fire.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Hi Dave, that made me laugh out loud. Stay safe mate. Regards Chalie

[@DarkLord8888]

😂😂😂😂

[@gs425]

Poor Mrs Mangle :-)

[@Poliss95]

You missed out ye olde (1947) cheapo method devised byJohn Allen on his Gorre & Daphetid Railroad. Rubbing the rough side of a piece of hardboard (Masonite) over the track. Can also be fitted to the bottom of a goods wagon. Another one I've read about is the Relco high frequency track cleaner, (similar model also sold by Gaugemaster) which doesn't actually clean the track and is a no-no on DCC as the DCC power will fry the HF unit, decoder and command station. IPA might not affect most paints, but could affect some. I used to use lighter fluid to clean my new second hand coaches. Worked fine on most. No damage, but on one particular brand it took the paint clean off. The Dapol cleaning wagon is a rebadged Tomix design.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

A great comment with some great info. Regards Charlie

[@rjwerhand6520]

Gregg at Fishplate is a hoot - the two of you host the most entertaining channels I follow.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

I’m so pleased that we keep you entertained. Stay safe, regards Charlie

[@DamonGaskin]

I actually was looking for your particular video to link, as i still haven't cleaned track since i began using the inox! It completely eliminated that chore. Completely! I thank you once again for your video, as it's changed my model railroading life!

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

I’m so pleased you found this product so useful. Regards, Charlie

[@FishplateFilms]

I think I've seen this done before Charlie?? I couldn't do the magnet trick though! Thanks for showing Innox and spreading the word on how to clean track properly! Just remember it is Innox MX3, they do make other versions not made for electrical circuits. Kind regards, Gregg.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

I’m so pleased that you have found this video. Clearly your original video was the inspiration for it. Do you stay safe during these challenging times Gregg. I had one rather amusing comment earlier, someone mentioned that we should become a double act! Regards Charlie

[@FishplateFilms]

@@ChadwickModelRailway You're very welcome Sir! I'm chuffed you found it and even more so that you not only understand the science behind it , but also got good results, which will only improve as you let the innox get around the layout. Maybe we could be the next 2 Ronnies??, LOL All good down here and all the best to you up there! Kind regards, Gregg .

[@railwayjade]

Very impressive, very educational - thank you!

Great video, as always - being the newbie, I am happy to get good advise whenever. I am sure with the constant questions and pop-up subjects, there may seem no end - but you are not obligated. You have a great library as it is, so weekly, biweekly, monthly - it should be a frequent as your availability and generous heart feel like. Thanks and stay safe.

Charlie, your video’s certainly always bring a smile. Track drying on the clothe’s dryer was hilarious. I’ve still got old Triang track and it still cleans up ok. Thanks as usual

I’m so pleased that you found it humorous and perhaps brought a smile to your face.

[@darrencarwardine3230]

Very informative video chalie.... As a beginner it's great to find out early before any lasting damage is done.... Like the opening made the wive look twice 😂😂... Keep up the good work looking into becoming a patron 👍

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks Darren, your a star.

[@matthewbrooks5072]

Very much enjoyed the intro, thought it was very funny. Interesting video, food for thought for the future, I'll have a look at this Inox. Regarding video frequency, I fully appreciate you're full time job isn't KZbin (yet!) and I assume you're doing it for your own enjoyment. So I wouldn't run the risk of it becoming a chore if it takes up a lot of time, I would much rather watch 1 good video a fortnight than 2 mediacore ones if that makes sense. However it is your choice at the end of the day. Keep up the good work! Matt

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks Matt, what a heartwarming comment. Regards Charlie

Excellent Charlie. Thank you.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks Walter.

[@chrisclark6192]

Hi Charlie. Great informative video as always. I'm guilty of using a track rubber, but I don't use it that often. If you look at real railway tracks, you see that the ones in common use are shiny on the tops of the rails. The ones that are not used much tend to be dull and corroded. My answer to keeping most of my track clean is to keep running trains. And that's one of the best parts of the hobby. I only need to clean tracks inside of loco and goods shed about three times a year. As for the blades on points, I use electrical contact cleaner. It's always a pleasure to watch your video's. Stay safe and well. Cheers Chris.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks Chris, what a heartwarming comment. Good luck with your track cleaning, regards Charlie

[@stephentapping7080]

I watched the fishplate video a while ago and bought the spray version. It appears to have really improved my points which really covered with all sorts of glues and sprays. I think the regular cleaning flex op might assist too 😉

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Flex op, now there’s a term from the past!

[@csxrensville5105]

[@daveoliver7590]

Brilliant as always,Charlie, very informative, great idea for the intro, washing the track in the bowl and pinning on the line 😂

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

At least it brought it little happiness to your day Dave. Regards Charlie

[@rajeshpisharody8419]

Charlie, As always, a great informative and entertaining video. Incidentally, I use Inox and it sure is a game changer. I have used it on tracks that had a very poor or bad conductivity and where locos struggle... to smooth running locos after application. I had watched the Fishplate Films video and I thought that I'd give this fella a try. This is an Australian product. I purchased it online from Pendle Slot Racing, based in the UK. It cost me just under a tenner for it. So far in about 2 months, I have been really pleased with it. It is important to note that the cloth that you use is also equally important as you don't want strands to be caught up on your tracks. I use a jeweller's polishing cloth which has served me really well. This product is dirt cheap and available on Amazon in multi-packs.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Clearly a great recommendation, thanks very much, regards Charlie

[@kellyparkstone3520]

Another great video. Not used a track rubber for years. I'm a 99.9% Isopropyl type of guy. Used it for years on SMP track without any issues.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it, regards Charlie

[@Cocogram95]

Gosh i was chuckling for a while with you cleaning the track at the start

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Here to please Thomas!

[@Roo63]

Thank you, Charlie. All the best :)

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thank you for watching

[@stef6567]

Very interesting Charlie. A couple of years ago, after finding Track Magic to be useless, I read various arguments for and against using car transmission fluid and curiosity got the better of me so tried it in very small quantities on a small section of track with one old locomotive for a few months. Since then, I have generalised its use across the entire railway, it pulls the dirt off all wheels and rails and leaves it in a few fluid residue lumps that are easily wiped up with a cloth, and even if these are not wiped off conductivity remains 100%. So the track still needs some attention but there is no longer need to lift locomotives for cleaning. The bad press it got was undoubtedly from people whose rolling stock was very dirty so found their layout suddenly plastered in residue, but had they perservered this wouldn't have happened again. Putting too much on may also affect plastic sleepers and traction tyres, but 2 years on, in the quantities I have used, I have had no such problems. Should I re-brand this stuff and patent it as a new track cleaner?

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

A great comment Stef, many thanks

[@josefbuckland]

Gaugemaster Gm-Hf1 ultrasonic track cleaner worth a mention to those on DC only layouts and are just LAZY but seriously they are not bad on on garden layouts.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks Josef, something that I clearly missed.

[@berrybrook5877]

Well done - a very amusing start. Must show it to my grandson! Thanks for a really helpful session on track cleaning. Your weekly Friday videos were something to look forward to in lockdown. Now, it's OK for me to get a good session each fortnight. Just keep it going please.

[@ModelRailway]

So that’s where I’ve been going wrong!!! 🤪

[@thegrowler-blackwoodngauge]

Very informative as always Charlie (with a bit of humour added in for good measure). Cheers Euan

[@InterCity134]

As others have said , the goal isn’t to get the tracks clean. The goal is to keep them conductive. So removing insulators and applying things that enhance conductivity. Whether there is stuff that comes off in a rag wipe is a red herring everyone seems to fall for. If it’s traction tire residue then yes remove it , but If it’s black and conductive then leave it as it’s fine. ;) In that spirit using isopropyl due to its molecular shape attracts dirt. Clean with WD40 or mineral spirits (others in this list imgur.com/a/DYbDGfm ) then graphite is the way to go. But for those with traction tires (many locos ) inox is a no go.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Very interesting comment, many thanks, regards Charlie

[@richardsinger01]

InterCity-1-3-4 I disagree with you on the isopropanol argument. Yes it’s an amphiphilic molecule, but since it evaporates rapidly leaving no residue I can’t see how it will attract dirt to the rails. This can’t be said about WD40 which is a film forming water dependent.

[@ntsteam59]

By far your best start to a video yet,always very informative 👍 👍👍👍

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it NT.

[@JR-dk4lb]

Thanks Charlie, I've been racking my brains with track cleaning looking for the most efficient method. Looks like its Inox for me!

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

It’s truly is a game changer Joseph.

[@markpini3945]

Entertaining and informative can you use inox to remove paint from the rail heads instead of using a track rubber after weathering the track. Thanks Charlie great video

[@Poliss95]

Could always use plastic straws slit up the side and put over the rails, then you won't get paint on them in the first place. :-)

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Mark, regards Charlie

[@willp358]

When you hang OO gauge track out on the whirly and you use very hot water does it come out as N gauge and can you iron it to get a 3rd radius from a 4th radius?? Fantastic vid Charlie. You really put some thought and analysis into the vids really enjoyed watching! Thanks looking forward to seeing the next..

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks Will, you’re far too kind. Regards Charlie

[@TATICMOOR]

Shrinkage is a seriously big problem for us model railway men, lol.

[@alistairkidd7204]

Tumble dry low, and for country-themed layouts I'd recommend fresh daisy dryer sheets.

[@TATICMOOR]

Don't be using Vanish either in case it total disappears. Tho any layouts themed around Staines it works wonders on it.

[@andrewdonald2770]

Ahhhh, the old planned maintenance schedules and check lists - love it Charlie. Have not used inox on the track yet, but it works a treat on my cast metal plate surfaces in the workshop - router table, drill press etc. Keeps the rust away, even in humid Queensland. Great video Charlie, thanks for sharing.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

I’m so pleased that you found it interesting Andrew, regards Charlie

[@alecwillis1073]

Pegging the track to the washing line ... Charlie, you are truly special :)

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

As long as it made you smile Alec.

[@stefanwosinsky1935]

Not technically cleaning, but have you considered applying a tiny amount of ATF to your tracks? You'll never have to clean again...Edit: simply apply a bit of this automatic transmission fluid on a cotton bud, and rub it about half an inch on each rail. on small layouts one half inch is enough, on bigger layouts you can do it on 2 or 3 spots. just add it and never clean again. and remember: less is more. if it makes the tracks greasy, it's too much. won't eat up sleepers or rubber tires either.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

You’re not the 1st to mention using that Stephan. Certainly worth considering.

[@tmcg972]

Great video again, Charlie! Loved the intro and now I'm glad I haven't used the Track Magic stuff yet... The magnet demonstration felt like watching a school experiment gone right... At the end of the video I was waiting for the newsticker to pop up: "phone now, get one bottle free", lol 😁 Thanks again for your channel!

Interesting and informative video Charlie, its certainly going to make me look at track cleaning again, my attitude has been it's a chore let's get this done as quickly as possible. As a lot of my locomotives and rolling stock is older items I spent a bit of time servicing and wheel cleansing, so it should make sense to put more effort into track cleaning. I think you may have made a old dog learn new tricks. I'm going to change my attitude it makes perfect sense, so I've given myself a talking to. I love the humour you bring to your channel I do find it easy to watch, and even when you cover things that don't apply to me I like to try and expand my knowledge. Thank you for the effort you put in. See you on the next one. Stay safe Eddy xx

Let’s make it one week David.

[@VOmaker]

Charlie, about the "thumbs up" button. It is a monster disguised as a Yorkie. If the thumbs up button simply added to the creators tally of "likes" it would be a Yorkie. However, it also wants to be a favorites button for the viewer and adds everything he "likes" to a favorites playlist. Therefore, the list gets packed with things I liked and want to refer to again some time, and others that I just liked but don't consider re-usable. So I NEVER click the like buttons simply to boost the creator's analytics, as much as I would like to at times. KZbin engineers have never been the best at what they try to do. When they get it right and give the viewer both a like button to score the creator and a favorites button to keep their favorites on a playlist, then I will gladly go back, watch all of your videos and like them. Some have already made my "favorites" playlist, which is what the like button really is.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

What a great comment John. My pet hate is “subscribe”. Clearly it should be labelled as “Follow”.

[@paulsheppy4305]

Excellent! I laughed at the start and then wondered whether you'd get round to Inox. Greg's channel Fishplate Films is a goldmine; it's a combination of technical knowhow and Aussie humour. I've been watching him almost as long as I've been watching you - two top channels. A million thnaks.

Another excellent and informative video Charlie. You somehow have the knack of making even mundane tasks exciting and interesting. A couple of my locos have tyres so I think I will be investing in a graphite block to avoid using a track rubber.

Hi Charlie, just started run locos on my track, for first time ,( new modeler) and was useing track rubber to clean bad connections After watching your video I will look at another way to do the job.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

I’m so pleased you found the channel interesting Philip

[@chazzyb8660]

Charlie, I just wanted to thank you for your many witty and enlightening contributions during lock-down. I have learnt so much on various aspects of modelling, both of railways and other things. I think I even understand how railways actually work, thanks to you and the other guys! I am not altogether sure I have really got to grips with all aspects of DCC and the wiring and computational implications of it, but I now at least have a good basic working knowledge of the subject, and I have no doubt I will learn more by re-watching some of the videos on it. I think I possibly got a bit too addicted to KZbin, and have nearly given up on the TV, so maybe that's a good thing. Fortnightly will be more than enough in future, as life sort of returns to normal, or not… All the best.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks Chazzy B, I’m so pleased that you enjoy my channel. But perhaps you do need to get out more!

I've been looking for my Peco track rubber for 2 days, moaning about my track needing a clean (once a month, I like calendars too.) then watched this video and Bosch! Gonna use IPA, as I have some older locos with traction tyres, but the INOX looks great, which I will get for my next layout, OO-9 narrow gauge. Another amusing and educational upload, the BBC rang, they wondered if you'd be interested in workie with Ronnie Corbett. LOL.

Great Video as usual. There's no wonder you don't have time to do weekly video as your to busy on the 1st of evey month doing evey thing else . It must be a long day 😅. It would be great to get one every week . Keep them coming and I'll keep watching . Cheers Glen

Glen, I’m so pleased that you enjoy the channel. Regards Charlie

I would add that if you use the sort of fake shami leather cloth you get from pound shops they hold the cleaner longer and also have a harmless abrasive action, I use a light application of graphite which keeps everything working for months.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

If it works Paul, stick with it mate

Thanks Charlie extremely useful video. I’d seen the ‘rant’ video but couldn’t find Inox in the uk so I’m grateful for the link. Next job, find a safe method of disposing of several bottles of Track Magic. 😏

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it Tony but please don't waste the Track Magic. Stay safe. Regards Charlie

Thanks again Charlie for another very informative and interesting video. Must admit for years I use to use the Peco style track rubber without considering the residue it left behind. Not a fan of the Dapol style cleaner wagons but always been looking for a better product for cleaning track by hand... Maybe, thanks to you I may now have found it..

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

I do hope so Chris, regards Charlie

I should say; Been watching for around a year, and love the channel. I am looking to get on the Patreon, just got lots of money issues at the mo, but if all goes well, I'll be joining in October 😁

Lucy, the main thing is you enjoy the channel and your hobby. Regards Charlie

Thanks for the great video. Although it's been a wrench going back to once a fortnight I know how long it takes to prepare and shoot a video so would be happy to stay with it and leave you time to work on the layout. Peter

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks Peter, your understanding is much appreciated.

[@astonnapper-woods1230]

Once a fortnight is good Charlie 👍. Life isn’t all model railways as much as we may like it to be.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks Aston, much appreciated

[@roncarter5532]

Always try and like you videos Charlie. Intersting one this, as I’m new to this railway malarkey and struggle to keep my track clean. I’m throwing away my track rubber as I type😂. Will certainly be giving the Inox a try, thanks again for a great video. Ron.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks Ron, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video.

[@roncarter5532]

Bought some Innox , cleaned my track and applied the innox and it certainly works. That’s my Sunday’s taken care of for the foreseeable future 👍

[@fdc77]

Thank you! My trains were stopping all the time in particular at slow speed. I used the US equivalent (CRC 2-26) and now all works perfectly!

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Glad to hear it mate.

Great video, Charlie. I clean my track with tissue paper, and no solvents or abrasives. As long as the paper gets black lines, i keep rubbing. ;) Changed my pledge to 10$, so You can make more videos!

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

That is very much appreciated Doc. Regards Charlie

[@mick9885]

Nice one Charlie 👍 I remember seeing Greg's video and couldn't find any over here until now thanks, I usually use something similar to Greg's find and IPA, Regards Mick

Always a thumbs up from me Charlie! Although I’ve only commented a couple of times before as you have so many comments! Another informative video ... I use a CMX with IPA coupled to the Dapol cleaner (for it’s hoover) and both hauled by a Hornby Class 60 as it takes some traction! I last cleaned my track two years ago ... I cleaned the wheels on all my stock (including loco’s, wagons and carriages) at the same time - really helped - otherwise like you mentioned, you’re transferring muck from wheels to rails or vice versa. I’ve only cleaned the wheels of some of my loco’s since. Inox sounds interesting and I may try that and compare with IPA. As I have a few gradients on my layout, I’ll be interesting to see/understand whether it reduces wheel-rail adhesion ... as I found Track Magic to do that, whereas IPA being quick to evaporate didn’t harm adhesion. 👍

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

A great comment DP. I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it, regards Charlie

[@mickayres3978]

Thanks for the info regarding Inox m3 bought some and found it to be absolutely brilliant at cleaning track work, so far would not consider using any other method well worth the money. As usual another very informative video thanks again.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

I totally agree Mick, it really is a game changer. Regards Charlie

[@petertootell3163]

keep up the good work in taking time to show fellow railway modellers your opinions on the hobby. We all have our own ideas , it good to see other people ideas as we all learn more, that why my layout is called Never Ending

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

A great comment and a great name too, regards Charlie

[@davepasley6620]

One a week was great but you can only do what you can do. Looking forward to seeing more building on your layout... and maybe a running session??? Either way thanks for the videos. Work goes a little better on a Friday when my phone pings that another video is available.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks Dave you’re far too kind. I do hope I continue to entertain you, regards Charlie

[@billinburlington5507]

Living near Toronto , Ontario Canada I was not able to find NoOx ID “A” Special, nor CRC2.26 nor Inox MX3 at the retail stores in my area. I did find DeoxIT D5 at a Sayal store and it works well to remove much of the corrosion. Using it on my tracks bought it the 1970s and 1980s. I need to get some 2000 grit wet sandpaper to do touch ups on a few heavily stained areas. That should help my previous use of the rubber-metallic track eraser.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Hi Cathy, Track cleaning is always a thorn in our side. I'm currently shooting an update which you may find interesting. Regards Charlie
