Mmm, I'm not sure but I'd definately let the customer know that the train track stain will probably be hard to remove....

Stephen, just clean it the same as a wool carpet. Check for colour fastness first though, however its unlikely it will bleed.
One extra thing you can do with rugs is turn them upside down on a sheet and vac them from the back in a couple of different directions this will knock out a lot but not all the dust from inside, you may be surprised how much comes out.
