I probably have about 10 of them. Its not a dedicated train, they just get switched around like any other car. As long as you keep the trains serving the industries that the cleaning cars happen to be at, the track stays clean. The problem is that if you dont run anything for awhile you have to clean the tracks. These cars are good at keeping clean things clean, but not so good at cleaning dirty things. Ahhh... but not to worry. I have found a solution to that too. I did the same thing as with the masonite, except I hung a bright boy on the bottom of a car. I put a couple of weights on top of the nails for some pressure, and it will get the track sparkling clean. You cant run it all the time though. It will grind up the track over time. Only use it when the track is very dirty. Those expensive track cleaning cars work great, I just dont have the money for one.
