Ho model

The Lux vacuum cleaner, is the first full-function vacuum cleaner incorporated into a modern goods car for all HO and N gauge track systems.

It was developed especially for the removal of dust and loose dirt particles at or near the track! Experience shows that this dust and dirt, carried in to the layout room (through heating systems, bench work, scenery work etc.) will damage toadies precision gearboxes, axle bearings and plays a pivotal role in poor track to wheel contact. This mobile vacuum cleaner is indispensable in hard to reach areas such as tunnels, hidden stations or layouts equipped with a catenary system! The trapped dirt particles are easily emptied by pulling off the collecting container. By adding a decoder, this unit can also be used in any DCC system.

The turbine wheel is driven by either a Faulhaber or Mabuchi Motor, Your choice. The Motor reaches its optimal speed for effective vacuum action already at a lower throttle setting. This vehicle is patented and built to NEM (European Model railroad) standards. It is fitted with a NEM coupling shaft at each end and is ready to accept a Kadee coupler.

The Faulhaber motor is rated for 2000 Hr of maintenance free operation, silent running and draws only 200mA of power.

The Mabuchi Motor is rated for 150 Hr. It does need maintenance, the noise level is somewhat higher and draws 300mA.
