While I was swanning around in York, my Dad got down the the job of track cleaning on our garden railway. After a bit of work, he polished the rail tops with a mild abrasive, enough that locos would move!
All the work clamping the track together really seems to have paid off. By Monday, we had a loco running around the full circuit. There is a bit of tinkering to do on the points, some rails aren't getting the electricity we would like, but nothing a bit of momentum from the loco can't solve at the moment.
Hopefully, a little adjustment, and we can move on to ballasting, which will hold the track in place, and level, so I can run steam engines on it!
