Videos - Operations

This page describes some of the operating details of our layout, and shows some operating sessions that simulate the operation of a real railroad.

At the World's Greatest Hobby Train Show in February of 2013, the club picked up a track cleaner car from Centerline Products. Here it is on its first run around the club's modular layout following our return from the show. It's a unique and different design from others we've tried. A heavy brass drum wrapped in cleaning cloth bearing your favorite track cleaning fluid rolls semi-freely inside the brass frame of the car. Friction against the frame prevents it from rolling freely, so it does scrub the rails as it goes, but it does also roll so that it doesn't simply spread the dirt as it goes along. Interesting design!
