Acquired a LOT of HO scale slot car track recently. The rails and end
connections are rusty, some very little, others, a lot. Need
recommendations on the best, non-abrasive way to remove this, without
damaging the styrene track itself. Preferably non-toxic.

Try electrolytic de rusting. Should be a piece of cake if
you have a battery charger, plastic tub or dish pan, and
some bicarb or washing soda

Be sure to let the group know what you use and how you make
out.
