Joined: 07/02/2007(UTC) Posts: 132 Location: Ocean View, Queensland		Thanks very much for the advice Nev - your former help about the loco volume is a great reference! Could you let me know how much one of these sets costs and what would be the best point of supply. Thanks again.

No good if you have long runs in tunnels. True. However I would point out that if you have sections of track that you cannot reach by hand, then you will be having bigger problems than trying to keep them clean !

Joined: 06/02/2005(UTC) Posts: 1,383 Location: Darmstadt,		Wellcome to the forum, Bob. I don't have a vacuum cleaner car yet. For cleaning the rails I use Dale's wooden block idea with great success. BTW I have no tunnels with inaccessible track. If I have contact problems on the pukos I use a simple eraser gum to get them clean again. Hans Martin

Both run on the tracks on a non frequent base, as I always have to take away my platforms at the station due to the bit larger than normal size of the cars. But I run a few cars with a little cleaning pad underneath in all trains. I believe they are from Noch, can't remember. They [5 pieces] cost about 4,50 Euro and are very effective. They are connected to the axle of a waggon and don't give any problems.
