Sounds like a great pruduct, but what i've always aimed for was a train
that could tug a track cleaner as the last car possibly, and using ONLY
lego pieces clean the tracks, i finally got some street cleaner parts level
with the track, but they just don't do it cause they can't absorb any kind of
liquid, but if you used some self-adhesive spungy stuff and a couple of
drops o cleanin fluid you're set, but it's just not lego. Maybe that rubber on
lego tires could do something, maybe pressed down on the tracks with a
pneumatic system? that sounds  like a project!

the rails before you run your trains.
