Well, my Speedy 05BB has been through a lot without proper cleaning from RCP and Comm drop use. This is how it looked from the outside.

The inside. Notice all the track dust and other stuff from the Comm drops.

And here is the comm cleaned up using a Lionel Track Eraser. Yes, the focus isn't on the comm but you can see it is much cleaner.

I also cleaned the endbell up with a diluted All-Purpose-Cleaner. I wiped much of the gunk off everything else also.
By doing this, will I actually see a performance increase? After racing yesterday, I noticed this Speed 05BB was getting out-punched in the top-end speed with all the Speedy 07's.
