Several times, I've read that glass-fibre pencils are excellent tools for cleaning track. Most (or all?) of the time, I've only seen this in British publications, such as a special issue of Model Rail that I've been reading where this tool was recommended again.
Yet, whenever I google "glass-fibre pencil", all the websites that come are mainly UK sites. Just curious if any on my North American colleagues have heard of this tool or if they've used it ... perhaps it is called something else over here? Here's a link to one shop that sells them: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/abrasive-fibreglass-pencil-kr61r">http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/abrasive-fibr ... ncil-kr61r</a><!-- m -->
They don't cost much so I'm thinking of ordering one directly from the UK. Thanks for any feedback!
