Not every rail cleaner is a "Brite Boy." <br />Walthers rail cleaner is the original "Brite Boy" and it DOES scratch the track! It's way to abrasive and too expensive. <br />But if you can find the small yellow track cleaner put out by the"PERFECT" Co. they are great for cleaning rail heads. And they only cost about $2 bucks. And you can clean these using the end of a piece of wood benchwork that has a rough end to it. Just the dirty part of the track cleaner back and forth over the wood and you will remove all of the crud that has built up on the end of the track cleaner. <br />Just be aware that all track cleaners are "BRITE BOYS." About the only thing these are good for is removing rust or paint from the top of the rail. After which I would still use one of the yellow PERFECT track cleaners. <br />gtr
