Aw, man, but it's all about the coolness factor! Why do something by hand
that can be done by a machine? Even if it's more work or costs more money.

I thought it looked pretty spiffy zipping around the track*. And look how
much dirt it picks up (last photo below)...

I'm not a member of a train club (although Russell Clark says techincally
I'm a member of BayLUG :-) but if I were, I think perhaps $104 USD would be
a reasonable investment -- as a club purchase -- if the product proves
itself useful over a year or so.
The only thing I didn't like about it is that it leaves a slippery, oily
residue on the track. So the cleaned rails feel kind of creepy. But on
the bright side, the cleaner does have a yummy artificial lemon/citrus scent.
