I finally received the track cleaning car from the guys at North East Trains that you recommended This Fall.
I decided to phone them, I guess they have been busy. He is really nice to me on the phone, shipped it right out. Sent an extra dozen cleaning pads for the delay of delivery. Car Has a good weight, followed the car in front just fine on the track during my short test drive. The trucks are MTH. Nice design, just as I thought.
I certainly will not be doing anything as fantastic as you did for your car anytime soon😊
Appreciate the recommendation where to order. Do you add a solvent or cleaning solution to your cleaning pad. Do you add it to just the front pad only?
have a good week!

John- I decided on GooGone for a cleaning solution. There are countless threads and debates on what's best for cleaning track. Some recommend 90% isopropol, others mineral spirits (flammable), and high odor. The GG works well. I wet the front pad and leave the rear one dry. Others have suggested using thin scotchbrite pads on the rear. The pads are washable and can be reused several times.
I've been letting the car run several laps on each loop, then I run it over the sidings.
