I(still) have(I'm into HO now) the N scale Centerline Track cleaner. Except being "Unprotypical" looking in appearance, it worked great.
Wish I could find one ine HO.

In HO I find the centerline car (mark 2 design) quite acceptable. I probably run it a bit more than necessary.
I don't know the Atlas car.
I don't know the Atlas car.
As far as that goes, are any of these mentioned compatible with DCC? I was under the impression that you needed a seperate decoder just for the cleaning car if operating with DCC.Do you run DCC? I know the Atlas cleaning car isn't meant for use on a DCC layout.
The Aztec, and the older Center Line do not use any track power so they would be OK for DCC. I did not have any information on the Atlas unit, so I don't know.

I have, and am happy with the centerline car, but I've read that the Atlas car is also very good. If you have, or are considering DCC, there is at least one decoder available for the Atlas car; the Centerline car does not use electricity.
