Does anybody know anything about the JAM Creations/Solutions track cleaning cars?
Gene
I guess they are an unknown item.

Gene,
I have seen the JAM Solutions Inc track cleaner on an Athearn GP40-2 (??) locomotive in use. The track curves did not produce the desirable rotation of the pad to obtain entire pad use.
This track cleaner product was of little interest to me as, you may recall, I am from the school of thought that abrasive cleaning does as much, if not more harm, than good. Besides there should rarely be a need to use abrasive cleaning on nickel silver rail.
Hunt, their new cleaner is mounted in either a 70 ton covered hopper or a 100 ton open hopper. It appears to have cloth pads as might wipe up behind a car with alcohol. I ASSUME that the pads rotate from the car movement in some manner.

Gene, Product does have both replacement abrasive and felt cleaning disks.
If the design has not changed the disk rotation is dependant on the track curves.
