I'll second what Randy says about dirty track. The only time I've cleaned mine is when I've painted rails or done other work like ballasting etc. I've let the layout sit for months without even looking at it sideways and fired it up and ran my sound equipped Geep no problem. Anytime I've lost power to a loco its because of dirty wheels. ...and my Tsunami's don't go through their entire start up sequence when they stall, a quick nudge and they'll happily pick up where they left off.
All that said, the easiest way to clean your track is to run trains. After all, its hard for any thing to build up on your rails when your running your RR on a regular or routine basis.
