QUOTE: Originally posted by cacole At the Cochise & Western Model Railroad Club's 20x40 foot HO scale layout, we fought the dirty track devil for several years with every imaginable track cleaning car and product. The best we have found is the CMX Clean Machine from Tony's Train Exchange filled with lacquer thinner followed by a Centerline track cleaning car running dry to mop up any residue. Once every six months is all we do now, except for minor spot cleaning with Nevr-Dull Magic Wadding Polish or a Roco track cleaning block.

Just place some on a cloth, run it down the rail heads, let it start to dry then polish off. I almost will garantee (sp) you will be hardly cleaning the track anymore, besides the engines.

Where can MAAS or Mothers polish be found? Sounds promising! [:)]
