The usual answer is the CMX clean ´machine. I got one and I love it. It is kind of pricey but for me atleast it is wort every single penny.

Dan-I had one that was based on a John Allen design.It was a piece of masonite with two nails glued to it.I drilled two holes in the bottom of a box car and inserted the nails.The masonite goes smooth side down and the front and back edges are beveled to avoid catching it on anything.Just put the car anyplace on your train and run it. It does a good job.Bob

A good track cleaning car
Posted by Dan The Man on Tuesday, July 8, 2008 11:37 AM
I've been looking around for a good track cleaning car, I have a Caboose but that doesn't really work well. Just wondering what you all use? And if anyone can recommend me one.

I just have a 4x8 table layout, with to loops.

Thanks
