We use the center-line track cleaning car with the roller, I have one for wet and one for dry cleaning. I have tried rubbing alcohol, Goo Gone with varied results. I did get a new cleaner from Skidmore Products called Aero-Locomotive Works ACT-6006 which is a track cleaner and wheel cleaner. It seems to be the best for my situation. I have also tried Rail-Zip which is also good. <br /> <br />I found that if I kept the loco wheels clean it required only an occasional track cleaning. You mau want to check out this new product: <br /> <br />[url]http://www.cleantrains.com/index.htm[/url] <br /> <br />I ordered one for my layout in N-Scale. It works pretty darn good. <br /> <br />I have also tried the Atlas Track Cleaning car, but only use it now to vacum the track. <br /> <br />Also like stated above, I use a BrightBoy for an occasional turnout cleaning. <br /> <br />I have about 1900' of track to maintain with about 2 scale miles of mainline. <br /> <br />HTH <br />
