The dust bags in the car half with the ventilation grills on top. This part is detachable for cleaning. I use it when I disassamble my preliminary C-track living room table layout.

In the margin there is a line, Marklin Locs 2,click on this and then fourth or fifth item down on the page that opens is a section, illustrated and explained, on his cleaning system. There is a link to Sean's site somewhere in our forum. Cheers matey. Jeremy. ps.VERY OFF topic, looks like the Brits woke up in 2nd. Ashes test.jp

I have one track cleaning car ( for my N scale layout ) and it is quite noisy . It sounds like a bumblebee.

Joined: 23/03/2005(UTC) Posts: 2,497 Location: Denmark		Thanks Nev. I am going to town today to have a closer look. I must have that set as my floor layout gets rather dusty. Trying to use an ordinary hoover is a pain, you need at least 3 arms to avoid tilted cars etc.[xx(] Also thanks to MZ_1414 for pointing out that the set is available at Togcenter/Copenhagen. Today I am also picking up my Roco 68713 (MZ 1414) at a bargain price of €199. Looking forward see that running on my layout. In short: it is going to be a beautiful day [:p]

Joined: 23/03/2005(UTC) Posts: 2,497 Location: Denmark		Hi Nev and other members with the yellow dual wagon cleaning set from LUX. Pls. feel free to comment. Thanks. Got my LUX 9620 cleaning set and only instructions in German, which is not so good for me. I have a few questions I hope you can help me with. Both motors are basically functioning - starting-stopping with "lights on" and speed change functions The rail cleaner is attached to the pulling loc and the hoover at the end. Is this the correct set up The hoover wagon did often de-rail, so I added a weight block in the compartment. The drum rotates in the same direction as the drive wheels. Should it turn opposite ? (perhaps more effectively then). The adjustable height of the drum is such that it does not block at turnouts (on the higher pukos) but then it hardly touches the tracks - then not very efficient I think. How do you set it Are you supposed to be able to program the decoder I can't access other than name and address (factory set at 78). Are you supposed to drive it only in the pull mode It sounds a bit weard when being pushed onto a blind track (depending of the height adjustment of the drum I think). Looking forward to comments. Thank you.
