Track and Loco cleaning

"I am amazed it takes you 3 hours to lay a single point. "

This is my experience with Peco Crazy Track. I operate a mixture of stock which all have correct back to backs but I find that my checkrail accuracy has to be 1 thou to get everything through them.The offenders are my K1 Garratt (1972) which does has some 'P' factor on the bogies due to the flexible drives and my long wheelbase Manning Wardles. They require quite different standards. As often as not, I end up removing the checkrails and replacing them with my own.

None of this applies when using 18" rad N gauge Peco points. everything just sails though them.

My two Mallets hate 12" rad points but they do not have to negotiate them on their traffic patterns.
