God I hope not...I planning on upgrading to Tomy...I know I broke most of the tabs on my old AFX track... :freak:

So about the WD use...My track is year old...it is tyco sectional...some of it almost a decade....and never been properly cleaned..just vacumed and dry towel rubbed...

I had a massive layout in the garage....set up last spring but I pulled the track in for a christmass layout....I noticed I had to toss a few sections that had minor rust or corrosion starting...even it was just a spot...I wont store it with the other good track...rust begets rust in my book...

So from what I have read....if I use WD40 once or twice...and follow with 409....I should be fine...so long as this isnt a weekly practice...

I do get some oxidation on the rails...but I have one uncanny tyco narrow chassis that seems to run no matter what...a few laps of stops and starts...then a few for laps...and the tracks seems able to run my other cars....

I now have an ocsar that runs good but needs a minor tune and tires....and seems to work well...I notice the oscar stops and starts for a few laps...but once it makes a complete circuit...and I run my magic tyco...the lane will run my other cars as well...

I know one of my issues is a lack of jumpers....but with a lack of space for a perminate layout...I have to go with what I've got for the moment...

I have a plan for a modular system that will perminalty afix sections of track into moduals that will be assembled on base boards and jumpered....with only connecting tracks between them as joiners...this will give me the ability to both store the track when not in use...and to change my lay out on a whim...

I've never been a fan of sand paper....although I have used a rubber eraser from time to time over the years...so the rails are still pretty cherry...even on my older track...

I guess that is kinda long winded for a simple question...

Will WD actually hurt my track?
