Track cleaner | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

This is my new CMX track cleaner. Very high quality. It is machined out of brass and I fill it with lacquer thinner and pull it around the layout. It wasn't cheap, but it does do a good job.

Thinners?? Please be careful of sparks. This is a highly flammable substance.

Mr Union PacificOGR Forum Member

Very true. I would guess acetone would be at least as flammable as lacquer thinner.

For sure. Just never leave it running and unattended. And as always be sure to keep a fire extinguisher handy in the train room. Even small sparks are dangerous with that on the track.

Citrus-based cleaning solutions like GOO BE GONE now seem to be in vogue. Like many others, I use 91% Isopropyl Alcohol for track cleaning.
