We have all heard or read that cars that clean the rails is a waste of time and money, or you need to spend a arm and a leg for a good one. I finaly made the plung and bought 2 cheap Trainline box cars that have a cleaning stone on them. Part number CSX#135724 / 931-752 and UP #113803 / 931-751 from K-10 Trains and must say they are all most the best $13.95 each I have sent to date.
They will not let your rails pass the white glove test. But after a week the only engine wheels I had to clean is my old Athean FP-45 now DCC. I only had to clean it after a wood working project for the new bench with saw dust ever where.
I push 1 and pull the other cleaning box car.
For the money a mer $34.00 it has saved me a lot of time cleaing the rails. I thing the brass cleaing car from Tony's is around $120.00. Sure it would it do better but the trainline have helped a lot.
No moe cleaning Ken posting again

Thank you for you kind words tdmidget. I will be more than happy to repost in the none gumpy section.

tdmidget, I don't know what the "td" stands for, but it seems to Me, that You qualify as a MENTAL MIDGET. People often mispost in the "Classic Trains" forum with questions or other posts regarding issues better suited to the "Classic Toy Trains" forum, and they usually get a POLITE comment about which forum is more appropriate for their thread. CudaKen made a simple mistake that did not warrant the Rude reply that You gave him.
LIGHTEN UP,
Doug
May your flanges always stay BETWEEN the rails
