Bert has a steam cleaner to clean his locos. What sort Bert? I am trying to picture the type you use.
I love the Regner idea of using steam from a loco to clean itself. http://www.gartenbahn.com/regner/tssd.htm The TSSD model (also available at http://www.mbv-schug.de/english-version/index.htm click on "Online Shop" then click "Brass & Finescale" and finally "Regner" to see this loco.) has a small live steam hose to clean the loco.
