Track cleaning options

[River Witch 14]

Thanks for the replies guys.
I realize that any oil based product used on rails would attract dust like a magnet which is why I was suspect when I saw that video.
Wayne,you are fortunate that your train room is finished which as you said goes a long way in keeping your layout clean.
Bear,not that I see your track cleaning car, I seem to remember making one just like it many years ago and it worked really well.
What I did on mine was to glue a couple of pennies to the tops of the dowels that connect to the bass wood pad. This puts some pressure on the pad. I also check the pad every now and then and
if need be I lightly sand the bottom of the pad to remove and gunk it picks up.
I think the bottom line here is this- if whatever method you are using to clean your track works for you then keep using it.
In my case I have forgotten a lot of the methods I used over the years this being layout #4. This also accounts for some of the questions that I have been posting especially
in the blogs section.
Thanks again
