Track Cleaning Car

[frac]

Hi - I recently retired and I am building a HO model RR in my garage. I live in Corpus Christi, TX on North Padre Island. I need to clean my track quite often as the weather down (salt water environment) here is inducive to corrosion. I use code 83 Ni-Si rail but it still needs frequent maintainence. Any recommendations as to the effectiveness of rail cleaning cars and ther effectiveness? Sure could use some help ans advise on this one.

Best Regards,
Larry

I've been using a Centerline car with AeroLocomotive Works cleaning fluid. I found the car with body mounted couplings works better than the one with truck mounted couplings.

Hi,

Just south of you in Brownsville. I use my "TRACK GUARD" - can be used on one of your cars, or pre-installed on a new box car. Check it out on eBay (HO TRAINS TRACK GUARD). iI've used it for 8+ years and don't have to do anything else to my track.
