The names have been changed to protect the innocent!

I finished up two home made track cleaning cars. The design is simple, a 1x2 for the frame, added trucks and couplers, then a cork cleaning pad glued onto a old car weight. The pad slides across the rails, giving them a good wipe. The pad is held in place by two nails, glued to the top of the weight. I added three nuts to give the car more weight.

I used three of these cars. I push one ahead of a loco, then a second car with Liquid Wrench on the pad, then a third car trailing with a dry cork pad. Works great and keeps things running fine.

Sometime ago, there was a blog entry admiring a workbench purchased from a box type of store in the ( I think ) Northwest.  I have searched the blogs with the search engine and reading them again and can't seem to find the entry.  If you could help, I would appreciate it.

This is the 2nd and maybe 3rd time (Need to look back at some past MRH for the other time) I have been quoted in MRH.  Last Month in Nov 2012 and then this Month in Dec 2012.

It is also unexpected to see something you have done show up in the Sunday e-mailer from MRH too.  This has happened a few times too.

This is a Plus for MRH and Joe in pulling stuff from the forums to add to the monthly MRH e-Magazine.

Thanks for the surprise.
