Sorry for having to ask such a basic question. I have a CMX cleaning car (HO) which I really like. I ran it today w/alcohol and as it passed by I ran a while cloth over the cleaned track and it came up with two black streaks. So I am looking for a dry cleaning car to put behind it to clean off the goop left by the CMX. I know there are numerous ones out there but I don’t recall any manufacturer names. If someone could give me a couple of choices I would appreciate it.

Ceveral people I know Run a Centerline Track Cleaning Car wet. and follow up behind with one thats dry.
Hopefully thats helps.

Using metal polish would eliminate the need to use the track cleaning car and save the big busks to be used for another engine!
I have not had to clean the rails since I first used metal polish back in July 2003.
Your choice!

James - Tks that was the one I was thinking of but couldn’t remember the name.
Bob - Tried the polish didn’t work. I live in the Florida keys. Humidity is 80+ most of the year. Attached shed where the layout is is not climate controlled except a window AC unit I run when I am in the room. Very hot and very humid in the layout room most of the year. I spent about an hour polishing the tracks with the MAAS metal polish. Six days or so later back to intermittant operation. So now I just run my CMX every other day to keep it clean. Maybe when we get back up north and buy our new home things will be different. But for now I need something that will clean up after the CMX. Would be nice though to clean it once and forget it for awhile.

Here is the one I have used for a long time. It uses a bright boy under it and works real well.

Tks Jim - I notice it has horn hook couplers? Can you put Kadee #5’s on it and are they body mounted? Again thanks
Terry[8D]
The couplers are body mounted, and #5’s will fit. Here is the other road name, which shows KD’s or some type of clones on it.
