Dear Friends,

Any plans for a LS track cleaner car, similar to the HO ?

Best Wishes,

This is about as inexpensive as it gets. Our club has two like this. A piece of Masonite with two flathead screws standing on a piece of Masonite. I used a dab of five minute two part epoxy with the 6-32 screws standing on the material. Two holes up though the floor of the boxcar with some nuts on each screw for a little weight. Some people have figured out how to install a couple small springs for down pressure or added a little weight of some kind for down pressure. Could be done with a gondola also.
