Reply to "Is there a track cleaner that actually works?"

One challenge with track cleaning cars and tubular track is that the center rail stands proud of the two outer rails due to the insulation. My weighted-roller Centerline car picks up lots of dirt on the center rail, but much less from the two outer ones. How have others dealt with this?

Since you already have the Centerline car, you could get the aluminum weight I describe in point #4 in my post above and set it up as follows:

You could then run the car a few "laps" and clean the outside rails. To avoid damaging the Velcro in the center of the weight, just be sure the edge pads are thick enough to allow the center rail to clear the Velcro. Alternatively, you could place a full pad over the edge ones shown and then there would be no risk of damaging the Velcro hooks. The full pad might dislodge over turnouts and crossovers, though.
