I’m very happy with my CMX track cleaning car!!!!  I use Arrow-Car Hobby Lubricants ACT-6006 to clean the rails.  Been using it for 15 years and the combination has worked flawlessly.

The accumulation of crud here in Bakersfield is terrible and the CMX works great!!

I know that various track cleaning cars have been made over the years, and I've heard that they are generally fair to poor.  

As of Christmas 2020, has anyone manufactured a good, effective, track cleaning car?  

I am less interested in aesthetics than function.  

Happy Holidays!
