LGB
20670 Track Cleaning Locomotive
This is the only loco I have that is not a
steam locomotive. 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.
