Piko Clean Machine G-Scale Track Cleaning Locomotive

I had read about this new product... a battery operated g-scale locomotive from Piko that greatly simplifies the process of removing oxidation from train tracks that have been left outdoors. I almost ordered one myself, but it was a good thing that I didn't because I ended up getting sent one for free!

In this video, I'll tell you the whole story of how Ken Bianco Jr, of Trainworld in New York, came to discover my YouTube channel and become a fan of mine! In fact, he's the first fan to ever send me a gift... and it was a pretty great gift. I was already a fan of Ken Bianco Jr, from having seen him in videos on Trainworld's YouTube channel... so it was great finding out that he admired my model train videos and appreciated the success I'm having with several of my videos getting in excess of a million views.

But the question is... does this product do what it's supposed to do... remove the oxidation that builds up on brass track that is left outside in the weather. I put it through a serious test... cleaning the tracks that run along the side of my house, and which stay outside permanently. I always have trouble with oxidization of those rails, and usually have to run fine sandpaper over them before being able to use them. So, it was easy for me to determine if this track cleaning locomotive worked or not... and it definitely worked!
