New Dapol Track-cleaner
http://www.dapol.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=278&Itemid=66
The dapol site says it's a HO/OO version of the "famous" Tomix Scrub -
Vacuum Polish Motorised Track Cleaner...
Does anyone have any experience of the Tomix N-gauge version?
I've been looking for an effective track cleaner for quite a while. On
the face of it, this looks like it might do the job on my dusty loft layout.

They are about a year too late for me. While searching last year to
see if there was an HO version of the Tomix one I came across this
firm.
http://www.lux-modellbau.de/html_uk/gleis_sh.htm
That should link to their English language page although I suspect
that some of it has been translated by computer.
I purchased both a vacuum cleaner car and the powered track scrubber
car. Future plans involve some tram overhead so the ability of the
Track cleaner to also clean overhead will be useful.
Both work well but I also run a CMX clean machine for liquid treatment
at times.
Only difficulty was finding someone who stocked the Lux -modellbau
cars. Eventually found a French stockist who sold online.
Between first looking and actual purchase they stopped their English
webpage so I was a bit concerned that with my Basic French that some
full size Plasser and Theurer Kit would arrive on a low loader but the
right Items appeared within a few days.
