Jumbo Abrasive Block Track Rubber

Jumbo Abrasive Block Track Rubber

An old favourite, our track rubber measures 77 x 50 x 20mm and is the largest track rubber available, the secret to clean track is to use a variety of cleaning methods on a regular basis. High frequency track cleaners, track cleaning pads and track rubbers work well together along with a regime of clean wheeled rolling stock.

This useful tool should never be far from your layout! About the same size as a large pencil rubber, it performs an essential maintenance task, that of cleaning your track. It is used in much the same way as a pencil rubber, but rather than erasing your writing mistakes, it removes dirt from your track. Simply place on your track flat side down, and rub backwards and forwards to effectively remove the dirt that stops your locomotives running reliably.

It is ideal for targeting those areas where dirt has built up. When there are structures or scenery close to the track you want to clean, use the rubber lengthways on the track. When there is more room at the side of the track, use it across the track so there is more leeway before you miss the rails!

Ideally, to complete the job, you should use a gentle vacuum cleaner to pick up any particles that the rubber may leave on the baseboard between the rails.
