You could do the same thing yourself for less money. You could easily install a similar pad to the bottom of any cheap railroad car. The classic type has been the masonite rubbing pad like the John Allen design that can be put on any Blue box Athearn, Accurail, etc. If you want something like the Bachmann car, shape a Brite Boy track cleaner with a bevel at each end, and glue it to masonite block. If you have not heard of Model Railroad Hobbyist e-zine, go to <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.Model-Railroad-Hobbyist.com">http://www.Model-Railroad-Hobbyist.com</a><!-- m -->. I either the 4th or current issue has an article on making a track cleaning car. You can read the mag online, or save it to your computer. You can also print out any article that you want to have in paper. I forgot to mention that MRH is free forever.
