Track cleaning cars
#9
I have a Bachmann track cleaning car which is quite similar the the cars shown above. I also use Woodland Scenics "Dust Monkeys" They also work fairly well. I have no problem with any build up on wheels because all of my rolling stock have metal wheels.

At our club, wvwey train running on the layout has some kind of track cleaning car. Due to the grades on the layout, I run Dust Monkeys because the locomotives I have are wimps and a track cleaning car weighs as much as three cars.

My layout is built mainly for switching and track cleaning cars aren't very effective in sidings, I used a sponge cut down wrapped with a piece of an old T shirt with some Iso alcohol occasionally to clean them.
