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.
