I've got a good friend who has a rather large model railroad (Oct 97 MR, Big Flats Lines) who swears by the following technique:
Clean the track once
Put a small drop of light oil on each rail and run a train over the oil and around the railroad.
His number of problems due to poor contact, etc. dropped to virtually zero.
Yes, it seems crazy, but it works.
