Replacement track cleaning rollers | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

traintreasuresOGR Forum Member

I have been using a Centerline track cleaning car on my 3 rail Fastrak layout with good results. However, I need more rollers. Both local popular home improvement stores do not carry the type of rollers this car requires. Any suggestions other than contacting the mfg? Appreciate any feedback.

I wrap a paper towel or handy wipe cut to width around the old roller. It works like a charm.

traintreasures The Shur-Line Trim & Touch-Up 3" roller 2 pac 03100 - bar code 2238403100 or AceMini Trim Roller 3" 3 pac #12795 - bar code 8290112795 will work. Cut them to about 2" length. On the Ford Model Railroad club layout I saturate the cover and put more fluid inside the roller + I put quarters inside the roller so the roller turns better.
