Anyone ever hack mod a vehicle to run around the track to clean and polish the rails in the track? Or clean the track surface itself? One or two lanes at a time?

I made one from a Tyco Turbo Train. It was fun to build and it worked OK.

Nothing beats cleaning the track by hand though. ;)

Man you beat me by like 30 seconds... :wave:

(Oops the BBS only allows posts every 60 seconds...LOL)

:wave: LOL Scott. I've had that in my favorites for like two years now, and see alot of those trains around. One day I actually gotta try it. :p

One other tip, for general "wipe downs' I took a piece of synthetic chamois, let it dry out, then re-hydrated it with stainless steel cleaner (spray type used for kitchen stuff). I keep it in a small tupperware container, it's ready to use any time I need it.

I bought this cleaner that snaps on a super g+ car on ebay through scaleauto:Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/Electrex-HO-Track-Cleaner_W0QQitemZ6060520683QQcategoryZ2619QQcmdZVi ewItem

It cost about $9.00 with shipping. It works pretty good for me.

So what's the best lap time with it? :tongue:

'doba

Those scaleauto cleaners are OK but they don;t handle bank turns too well

I made on of the Tyco train cleaners and it worls great.

My AJ's "Ocssr the track cleaner" is still the best though!
