Yeah I'd love to see that also. I've been thinking about making my own after
I spend two evening scrubbing all of my track with a big pink eraser, and
some rubbing alcohol on a q-tip.

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 URL?

Does anyone have a way to keep that nasty black stuff from getting all • over
the rails of your layout? I just went through a whole box of kleenex • getting
my track clean again.

Model railway people use something like an eraser. IIRC, here in the UK
they're called track cleaning rubbers.

Judicious use of IPA on a cloth may be effective, but I don't know if it
affects ABS, so try it on a useless bit first.
