I too owned the centerline but did not find it as functional as Tony's clean machine. <br />With Tony's, you have a reservoir plus a flow control valve which I still own but no <br />longer run. <br /> <br />The application trick with the paste is use a very small block, identical to that of a brite <br />boy, or the brike boy it self. <br /> <br />Cut an old cotton t-shirt into 6"/7" narrow strips. <br />Wrap the t-shirt around the bb/block <br />Apply the paste to the narrow edge of the t-shirt block and drag across rail head. <br /> <br />This way you avoid messing up everything along the right of way. <br /> <br />After the paste SLIGHTLY dries, wipe with un-treated t-shirt material wrapped <br />around bb/block. No mess, simple and dirt cheap... <br /> <br />I also used this paste in cleaning the drivers an a Lionel-HO steam loco that was <br />made in the late 60's. First cleaning in 35 years and WOW! <br /> <br />I continue to use the paste on all loco wheels by flipping the unit over and connecting <br />with power leads from the track to the loco. Power up, spin the wheels and clean.
