CLEANING CAR We met a new vender at the show who was selling track cleaning cars modified from S Helper Service 40’ boxcars. As seen from the photos below, the car has two AC motors that spin while spring pressure between each motor and pad pushes down on to the track (the car also has weights). The result (with no chemicals) is a scrubbing action over the rails that does an excellent job. Matthew Poissant, of MNP (Many New Products; A Model Railroad Manufacturing Co.) let us try out the car on our layout at the show. After about ten laps around each of the three track loops, the pads were black, he then put a new set of pads on as seen, and this is how the pads remained for the remainder of the show. About every two hours, we ran the track cleaning car around the tracks. The Tidewater Division decided to pool resources ($149), and we bought one of the cars for our shows. Looks like Matthew will also be our next sponsor, which will allow a 10% discount for anyone else in ACSG who may be interested in purchasing a track cleaning car. He also makes track cleaning cars for HO, O, and G scale. Check out the web sit (www.mnpinc.com).
