Can electrical sparks from a moving train ignite the WD40 that I sprayed onto the lionel fastrak to prevent it from rusting? Isn't WD40 flammable?

We used to use that too, ether does more damage.I use it to start my diesel F350 on cold mornings.
I think once you applied it and wiped down the track, it wouldn't be an issue.Can electrical sparks from a moving train ignite the WD40 that I sprayed onto the lionel fastrak to prevent it from rusting? Isn't WD40 flammable?
The propellant would be more of an issue than the product.Can electrical sparks from a moving train ignite the WD40 that I sprayed onto the lionel fastrak to prevent it from rusting? Isn't WD40 flammable?
I think he's in the process of cleaning pieces of track.I wipe the rails with odorless mineral spirits. I put some on a rag (piece of old t-shirt) and wrap it around a scrap of 1x2 and rub the tops of the rails. I would never want to spray WD-40 or anything like that all over the track and layout.
Try a patch blue jean material (Denim). Its slightly more abrasive than t-shirt.I wipe the rails with odorless mineral spirits.

LOL wow i had no idea it attracted insects. It does smell pretty sweet thoughWhere applicable, I prefer using Silicon Spray (but never have used either on my previous MRR layouts).
There is one thing I discovered about WD 40: It attracts bees! That's one of the main reasons why I stopped using it - for anything.
