Still looking for that Track cleaner...someone wrote that it didn't work so they are probably out of business. A friend has one & pushes it ahead of an engine at the beggining of the season, After 2 or 3 round trips track is clean & things run without hesitation.  This is after a northeast winter.  Jerry

I have the bridge-masters car, works great. I have SS rail, so no oxide to scrub off, just clear off dirt, etc. Fitted a Kadee to it, and put some foam around the shank to limit side to side travel of the coupler.

Does anyone know if the track cleaner car that uses the LGB track cleaner block is still available.  I think it was made by overhead RR or something like that, cant seem to locate them on the web?    Thanks.... Jerry
