Track Cleaning

Has anyone got any photos or suggestions about track cleaning vehicles

Sale MES have one based on a rotary scrubbing brush from a floor cleaner. I believe it’s autonomous, just fill up the tank and send it on its way.

We’ve been experimenting with a pressure washer, which seems promising, but not taken very far yet

It all depends on what’s on the track that needs to be removed. Oils, rust, general muck, leaves etc ? I had often thought of a pair of angle grinder heads with wire brushes on a small truck with a petrol lawn mower engine to power it. Noel.

This is the Swiss Steam Model Club version. It is used to clean the oil/grease residue off the aluminium rails using a fabric band with a solvent applied to it.
