I remember those. It uses High frequency AC pulses to burn the crud off the rails. Because of this, it is incompatible with DCC.

I had one once. I haven't seen it in years and don't remember what became of it. I don't recall that it did me any good.

Knowing what I know now, it seems like a bad idea. Most of the crud on the rails is caused by arcing. To solve the problem by arcing harder just doesn't sound right.

You don't. but others on this forum do.And we all read the posts. I'd hate to see somebody fry expensive electronics by using this with DCC.

Sounds like a gimmick. I can't see an AC pulse burning crud off the
rails unless it was like 10,000 volts or something.
