My Bachmann Lyn (latest version) just began acting strangely. Stopping, starting, running fast, then slow. Most odd.
Had a look at the wheels. Certainly not shiny but didn't look too bad. Tried smoke fluid on a cotton bud and got gunk off, but still no good. After trying te same trick with Goop Off, with the same results, tried a very soft polishing head on the dremel. That did it. Got most of the crud off and now it's working fine.
How come the Bachmann wheels get so gunky, when other stuff I have stays clean?
Any thoughts for keeping them clean?
While on the subject of Lyns, my old version doesn't like curves - I don't have anything really tight - it just doesn't like any curves. Any ideas ?
