I've never seen it, but I've heard that it's avalible at hardware stores, and home improvment stores (Lowes, Home Depot, etc.) Another brand that's suposed to be just as good is FLIXX, and that's available from Walthers (www.walthers.com) & Micro-Mark (www.micromark.com).

Walmart is one of the many sellers. www.massinc.com
This stuff is super. I no longer use my $99.00 Tony's HO clean machine.
It's parked on a siding"FOR SALE"
I do not think this will work well for the N scalers.
Their locos are too-too light and may have wheel slippage especially up the grade.
Many of us use this and it's funny, LHS don't carry it.
Remember there is no cleaner that prevents oxidation.

I think MR did an article on it Jan 03.
Don't let it dry before you wipe it off otherwise
it is difficult.
Take a small block, the size of brite boy or the brite boy itself.
Wrap an old piece of T-shirt material around the block and apply the paste to the T-shirt and drag it across the rail head.
Wipe up with an un-treated block-t-shirt.

Deacon...you're lucky....I got "Mass" in a food store,....... too many of the wrong kind of foods will do that, especially if you eat them.
