I recall that someone around here made a car that cleaned the rail as it went. If I remember correctly they mounted a piece of foam rubber to the last car of the train. It would clean the track on every pass. Does anyone else recall it or have the (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

I happened across this in the back of a small toyshop's Lego section some years ago, and just found it again in the closet. #7851 -- the 4.5v train set curved rails. Still in the box, some wear on the corners, but it's still sealed. (URL) only Lego (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)
