...based on my HO scale Masonite pad ones found here >>> http://misterbobsmodelworksemporium.blogspot.com/2007/12/keeping-track-clean-on-your-christmas.html

I never pursued it before because of the weight ratio to HO...while N may be about half the size, it is about a fifth of the weight. It works quite well, having picked up a serious load of crud in 25 laps and clears all my above board Atlas switch machines. While the lines appear off-center, it actually relates to my predominately left turn oriented track plan, much like NASCAR. Being so small, it has to be quite precise or it will not work.
If you can't find Masonite, I've got a few spares, drop me a PM.
