Scratchbuilt track cleaner

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

Built using a broken coal car from my brothers destroyed train set (I tried to get him into trains but xbox was more appealing to him). I came up with the design myself, it took some trial and error but it works great! All you do is let the car drag the cleaner block around.

Did you have to add weight to keep it on the tracks?

Not needed, it runs fine the way it is.

4

What kind of cleaner block did you use?

5

I’ve build a Track Cleaning Transfer Caboose.

Here’s one that I built with parts from the scrap box. If nothing else, it is quite the conversation piece!
