Reply to "What did you do on your layout today?"

"Hi Matt, Thank you very much sir!

I did make the track cleaning car, but I want to go back and make it better! I added  weights but I think I want to add some type of adjustment for pressure on the cleaning pad."

Mike - Glad to hear that you tried it.  The extra weight definitely helps tracking.  One of my first efforts, I used two threaded bolts to apply pressure to the pad.  It contributed to derails in my design.  It needed to be spring loaded.  I have found that but making the pad raise the wheels about a 1/32nd inch works well with weights.  That way the flange is still inside thee rails and the weights over the wheel trucks hold it down.  Good luck.  Think creatively while convalescing.  All the best.
