N-Scale Track Cleaner

The cleaning wheel of the N-scale track cleaner is driven by a high quality, long lasting core-less Faulhaber motor. The cleaning wheel as delivered is made of felt but can be replaced with a wheel made of fiber for more stubborn dirt removal.

The unit features a unique guidance mechanism to ensure that the cleaning wheel follows the rails precisely, even on tight radiuses and complex switch arrangements.

 

 

 

The motor and gearing is totally encapsulated and therefore well protected. The circuit board contains a small NMRA plug for the easy installation of a DCC decoder. The battery pack, mounted underneath the circuit board shown on the left, ensures that the cleaning wheel keeps cleaning even when the unit looses power on dirty sections of track !  The batteries are recharged automatically during normal operation.
