:impatient: thought id post this, it might help.. after repaireing several trackcleaning loocs over the years, i think i can honestly say its a cracking bit off kit, IF YOU LOOK AFTER IT..no names ,no pack drill..ecti recomend that you REGULARLY check behind the cleaning wheels, i do mine, every 3 run.. i run mine for a hour at a time. so every 3 hours worth off off cleaning. it dosnt take long ,it WILL prolong the life off the loco, and SAVE YOU MONEY>>turn the loco upside down, remove the surporting bar, 2 philips screwspull the cleaning motor ,back towards the cab.. till the 2 retaining lugs, clear the boddy ..lift out the cleaning mottor block, remove the flat head screw, and remove the cleaning wheel ..just like you would, to change a cleaning wheel.. after beeing used, the nylon black plastic wheels, de laminate..they become, nylon string.. this, raps around the axles.. traped between the wheel, and the motor block, it builds up, into a larger mass. it gets hot, as its causeing friction.. melts, and is pulled into the ball bearing axle asembly, by capillary action.. were it sets.. back into nyloin.. this in turn leeds to the claeaning motor, reqiiureing more power to operate.. this leads to a catastrpoic failure off the main electrical system.. a blown main bord, a burnt out motor, and a seased up ball bearing axles asembly.£££££££...or you can just clean out the nyloin string and save your self, some greif, and a lot off money.. its up to you :q26:
