Lionel 3927 usage?
Posted by trains2353 on Sunday, February 19, 2017 10:33 AM

Does, or did anyone use there 3927 to clean their layout track? I have one that I'm getting to run again and when it does, I'm tempted to try it.

Thoughts?

Sure, that is what they are designed for.
I haven't run one in a while.
when I do, I use household spray cleaner, applied directly to the sponge.
Run it around a few times, then switch to some cotton wiping cylinders.
You are supposed to remove the sponge head, but the clips that hold it in place are easily damaged.

The bottles are often missing. But you can use the car without them.

Jeff gave me a lot of help when I started up again. His parts are top shelf.
