I think they suggested a way of making these in MR a few months ago - they drilled holes in the base of a boxcar, glued a piece of hardboard to a couple of 6in nails, and poked the nails through the holes - there was no weight on the "cleaning pad" other than its own and the weight of the nails. I've not tried this as I use a Peco track cleaner block, but it would have the advantage of being able to remove the pad easily. I guess if you ran a car in every train fitted out like this it would help keep track clean, but I suspect fitting metal wheels to everything and cleaning the track manually would be more effective.
