A sticky is definitely needed
		Sad when its cheaper to buy a new 29640 starter set from Germany than a CS2 on its own in Oz, welcome to the joys of Marklin down under .

Use a piece of heavy duty cotton, like a piece of old denim or cotton lab coat, with some isopropyl alcohol or medicinal alcohol. Wipe a moistened spot along the rails and it will probably come away quite black.
