Gaugemaster GM 24/25 Premium Track rubber, does it remove old scratches from the rails? Find out now 

Thanks for taking the time to follow up on this topic. Great results.

Thanks for doing it, good to know 🙂

Great update and very useful to know that it would help polish out scratches on existing track.

Thanks for these reviews, they are very helpful, years ago the Peco track rubbers were very smooth not like the gritty granite type supplied these days, I usedto have a OO garden railway where clean track is a challenge, a work colleague suggested a block printed circuit board cleaner supplied by CPC Farnell, I've used these for years as they polish the rail, in a similar way to the Gaugemaster you demonstrated, These are ideal especially these days as I have gone "retro" and use a lot of Triang series 3, and the great thing about these PCB rubbers is they don't remove the plating on the steel rail.

Thanks for the update Mike, this is good to know.

Excellent experiment! Thank you Mike and for the joint video on track cleaning. I have just ordered the Gaugemaster track rubber and some Contact cleaner! Very interested to see how well they both work. I am also going to try and bodge together a track cleaning wagon, using card as the rubber. Saw this at Pendon.

Fascinating! Thanks for looking into that 🙂

hello Mike, thats great, will go and get one, love the music at the end of your videos

That is very useful to know. It must improve conductivity.

Really helpful Mike I haven’t been able to have a layout for 20 years and I’m about to approach the opportunity of having one soon So this looks like it’ll be on my shopping list to replace the very old peco one

Nicely done Mike 0:21

I'd use number 400 upwards wet and dry, then Autosol for scratches in metal.

Another excellent piece of work, thank you. I know all the benefits, but being a curious kind of fellow, I wondered if the polished rail has any noticeable effect on traction over the scratched rail?

Maybe it's just my 70 years old eyes, but the rail now looks full of longitudinal scratches to me.

Three cheers for the Master Track Cleaner.

What does one do once one has sanded down the rail to the point that flanges bind on sleepers. 🙂

Why don't you just throw away the track rubbers and use a piece of balsa wood from the start??🤔
