I see where this subject of track cleaning has come again, but got sort of h-jacked. So I decided to bring up this particular one method as its seems to pretty well recommended by a number of members over on this other forum,...with its own subject thread,..

In general after many discussions, it has come down to use of mineral spirits to clean the track, then wipe up that loosened material, then apply graphite for great conductivity. So a number of folks suggest the 'track cleaning train', a CMX cars for dispensing the MS in a rubbing manner, then follow that car with a Centerline car for wiping/drying duties, and perhaps a second centerline car.
Overall it seems to do a great job, but it can get rather expensive, considering the cost of both (or all 3) of those cleaning cars.
I'd like to hear of personal experiences on this forum with the CMX cars. We already have some interesting ones with the centerline cars HERE
