CMXN N Scale Products Clean Machine Track Cleaning Car (Brass) CMX Products # 226-CMXN YANKEEDABBLER

For N scale remove the spring from under the brass cleaning plate. The plate alone is heavy enough and without the spring even smaller loco's can pull the carriage.

I have two complaints. First, and I'll bet this is shared by just about all purchasers is thar it is way over-priced. The second is that it is too heavy. My Kato "Big Boy" will barely pull it on the level. I am currently getting by double-heading a BLI "Mikado" and a Bachmann "Ten-Wheeler". I have some experience with fabricating small brass devices and am sure I could come up with something better than this (and more realistic as well). Has I known more about this device, I would have made my own. If I can find the time, I'll probably do so.

In the final analysis, it does seem to work well, even though it is messy to use. I am considering a "chemical-proof" siding for filling and storage.

Works perfect. It takes two locomotives to get it around the layout. But it works very, very well.

A very good track cleaning tank car did a great job cleaning my layout
