Hello. I need a part for my Ribbon Rail Track Cleaner. Can someone tell me who makes it? It is solid brass unpainted. Thank you, Ben Mc Knew

Personally, I would buy a different type. The Ribbonrail car has a stone block under it that can scratch the rail over time and cause even more dirt problem than it solves. The stone easily gets clogged up with dirt and then begins to just spread it around instead of removing it.

We have a Ribbonrail track cleaner at our club that is in the "do not use" category of track cleaners. What part do you need? The person who bought our car may be willing to sell the whole thing.
