Product Features and Details
With this one-of-a-kind LGB locomotive, you can safely and easily solve the complex problems of track cleaning, especially on outdoor layouts. How does it work? The patented design of the LGB Track Cleaning Loco features two motors. The drive motor, located below the cab, propels the loco on the track. The cleaning motor, located in front of the cab, rotates a pair of cleaning wheels. These low-abrasion wheels rotate opposite of the direction of travel for safe, effective cleaning. The cleaning wheels also have specially engineered flanges to protect the plastic guides found on LGB switches and crossings. The body of this LGB loco was modeled after track maintenance equipment found around the world. Directional lanterns and flashing warning lights tell you the status of the loco, and that makes it even easier to keep your track clean.
