I found I can clean my stainless or brass rail using LGB's track cleaning block (mounted in a frame with two axles) and pushed by a loco to knock off leaves. To clean oil and grime I use a rubber hand sanding block with a cut to shape pad of cotton towel mounted instead of sandpaper. The towel is usually run over the track dry. If track is really oily I moisten the towel in the sanding block with lamp oil then run it over the track for a lap then replace the towel rectangle with a dry cloth and run a lap or two. This seems to remove oils fairly well without bending over or without application of reciprocating elbow movement of a repetitive nature. Gary of Eugene, OR
