Reply to "Track cleaning cars"

Today, I bought this track cleaning car from my LHS:

It came in a box with a paper in it that said O Gauge Track Cleaning Car, Bridge Masters, and that it was introduced on January 2, 2010.

What impressed me is that the silver top of it is heavy, so the scotch brite-like material on the bottom presses down on the track, and it doesn't require that any liquid be put on the track or scotch brite to clean the track

I coupled it to a switcher and took it for a spin around the two main loops of my layout, and it definitely picked up some dirt because the bottom of the scotch brite material got dirty. I think this car can be useful for cleaning track in tunnels and other hard to reach places.

I also think that its cleaning power is limited, and there are better ways to clean track in easy to reach places.

What are your thoughts about this track cleaning car or similar ones? Arnold
