Atlas CN Dash 8 helps with track cleaning duties

It's track cleaning day, this is my track cleaning train. Behind the engine is a kit bashed Tyco flat car with a rubbing pad mounted below, 2nd car is the awesome CMX brass unit, 3rd is a kitbash from a chezzy Bachman spot light car, 4th is a Athearn baggage car now rolling on Rapido trucks and last is an Atlas caboose. All have custom painted, super detailed and weathered by me. Today the Atlas CN Dash 8 is helping out, soon to make it's apperance for regular duty will be a Kato SD38-2.

How does that CMX track cleaner work for you? I've read the reviews and the articles and all that garbage---rah rah, it's so great--- but until now I've never actually seen one on the tracks....is it worth the cost, or not really? Thanks!

Yes...I feel it's the best. A little fussing to get the drip righ, but once done it really is worth the cost. Of course I had to paint mine. I put on Kadee #58s and Athearn 100 ton trucks with rotaing rolling bearing caps. Looks so much better.

Thanks, that entire train, is all scratch built from a mix of cars and detail parts. The first tanker, has a track cleaning pad underneath, then the CMX cleaner follows. I just did not want to have an engine pulling the brass CMX cleaner, so I built this "Track Service" consist.
