In my continuous quest for a dirt and dust free layout, I ran into this device : http://lux-modellbau.de/html_uk/gleis_rh.htmIt costs about 125 euro at Lokshop. Does anyone has any experience with it? I'm very curious if it works and how! For example do you have to take the ruber tires off your loco before cleaning? Or does it clean the tires along with the whees in one single movement? And does this devece also cleam the sleeper?

Edited: <s>It's new to me.</s> It looks interesting  Nev. What a short memory I have [:(]. I even asked you then how it performed. Found your post in Hobbits post by: Search 9301 - subject only - MMR forum. It seems that nobody else here has acquired this unit, so we await your findings in due time.  Evil. After watching the video on modellbau's site I would think that the rubber bands could not survive the treatment, but on the other hand, I don't see how to remove them on a steamer without a greater disassembling. May be the instructions cover this. |

I'm a bit worried about the rubber tires too. Although I cant imagine that they should be taken off before cleaning. I mean: whats the point of a build-in-device then? @Nev: very intrested in the performance of the device. Please keep me posted. I'm willing to test it for you, just ship it to The Netherlands

Yup the vaccuum cleaner works great. I've got the dual package vacuum cleaner / grinding machine myself.
Makes me even more curious.

Thx for the manual!
I can read a little German.
It seems the rubber tires need to be removed with a certain type of cleanerpads. Im not certain which but I think it are the grinding pads.

A quick plug here, if I may: my shop is now carrying LUX-Modellbau products and I have stock on hand. Great products IMHO and I had real pleasure talking (albeit through translator) with mr. Lux in Nuremberg.
