Product Description:
Stealth Track Cleaning Locomotive The bottom line in track cleaning is that the powered units wheels must remain clean in order to have good electrical pickup. Our track cleaners are made to run up FRONT. Disguised as locomotives, these track cleaners remove the grime before your powered units encounter grime thus preserving their clean wheels for good electrical pickup. Made from a modified Athearn GP series locomotive, with the drive shafts removed (included) to create a free rolling unit. Built into the fuel tank are four independent spring loaded cleaning feet that can be equipped with any combination of felt or abrasive disks that ride the rail tops removing oxidation, dirt and grime. These cleaning feet are set slightly inward of rail center to force some rotation of the foot as the cleaner encounters curves. This ensures that the whole disk is used rather than a straight line. No liquids are used so the tracks get clean and stay clean. The Stealth system can be used at any time. Assortment Pack of 16 cleaning disks included.
