- Position cleaning vehicle onto tracks and operate using TGauge Power Box E-012/E-013 (not supplied).

Tips
The hand-held tool can be substituted for the cleaning car where your layout has low profile bridges, trees etc that may obstruct the cleaning car.
If you are exhibiting at a show we would recommend using the emery paper and then cleaning car/spirited pad combo before the show commences then using the cleaning car with cleaning pad at 4-hourly intervals. This should help you have fuss-free running for the duration.
These instructions are what works for us and are by no means exhaustive. Please feel free to share your Track Maintenance prowess with us.
