I guess this is an accessory, anyway, I got this old RIbbonrail track cleaner yesterday at the show for a few $'s, I think that brings me up to 3 of them now. This one is complete except for the felt rail wipe.

Interesting find, Jerry. Looks pretty neat actually.Anyway, my AOTW this week would be a track cleaning car to continue this week's possible theme but I just can't get to it right now for a number a reasons so my AOTW is a Matchbox 60th anniversary edition 1962 Volkwagen Beetle. In my opinion, it's one of those cars that I think looks awesome as a diecast car and looks ugly in real life.Anyways, here's the photo.

I like to incorporate "found" objects when I can. In this case, the
laughing man is from an insurance advertisement. He is laughing
at all this inanity.

No, not electrical, I think they're jet-valve adjusters. Since it uses alcohol ( I think ), I don't think you want to hook up electricity to it. I've not used one yet, since the other two I have aren't complete, I don't think. I will have to look up the instructions somewhere to see how it works. I just have a "thing" for track cleaners for some reason.

Very nice items so far. This next one I bought at a yard sale in Greenvale NY.
It is a vintage automobile in Pepsi Cola paint scheme.
